You’ve got a big old head
And that’s a compliment
I’ve seen all those things you’ve said
Sprout and bloom into offerings
Now I can stand to hear
you rave about John Donne and Voltaire
They’ve been steeped over time and aged
Bubbling in your mind like a fine bolognese
And if your head shrinks in the weather
For worse or for better
I’ll help you measure
We’ll get it right on its screws like we do
You’ve been a good ole friend
Even when I haven’t been
I’ve tasted your thoughts and kept chewing
I’ll spit em out when you’re afraid that you’ll lose them
Now I can stand to see
You take a little space from me
If you need a sip of fresh air
I’ll hold the space between us with care
And if your head shrinks in the weather
For worse or for better
I’ll help you measure
We’ll get it right on its screws like we do
