Couldn't You Wait? - Silkworm

Couldn't you wait

For some time to elapse

Check it before the trap was set

And it collapsed like a

Big net grass green

Rug screen wait

Did you test the water

With a big toe dip

Don't put all your trust in

That triple-timing bitch

Could you elaborate

On how you tempt fate

Couldn't you wait

Couldn't you wait

To go on your foggy trips

You were in the corner

Doing back flips

I saw sweat on

The wheelchair grips slip

Couldn't you wait

You never cooked up

Your medicine then

Said the aspirin made

Your thick blood thin

Every dinner was

A capricorn a crown of thorns

Couldn't you wait

Yeah couldn't you wait

You were funny to a fault

Went too heavy on the salt

Can you stand up straight

While I illuminate

A few of your flaws

I thought you said you would

Never get your teeth capped

How would you like to

Get your face slapped

Did it hurt to take the time to

Make the new girl happy as a clam

In a pair of tight 501s

Is your fresh-faced neighbor

Any fun at all

Do you still go off

Like a gun that's gotten stuck on stun

That's permanently stalled

Do you still think you're god

Is your first day on the job even over yet

Is the summertime in heaven grand

Is it fifty-nine past the eleven hand

Oh couldn't you wait

For the midnight train at least

All these seagulls are insane beasts

The taste of trouble's in my mouth

It's like a candy cane

Couldn't you wait

Until the thought had passed

That our love would never last

How could you devastate

Someone you claim not to hate

And couldn't you have waited

Couldn't you have waited

Couldn't you have waited

Couldn't you wait
