My Darling
You've been good to me
And you know that I adore ya
So I haven't said a word about this
since we met
But there's something strange
about your facial features
And I'm sorry, but now
I just have to ask about it
How'd that lightbulb wind up in your forehead?
Screwed deep into your pink and meaty brain?
Why does it blink
when you dream and think
or ponder?
I've lost so much sleep
that light keeps me awake
You're the only one I know with such a defect
Yet you still insist that it's how you were born
You say your parents had it
That it's genetic
So will our children be bulb-adorned?
I'll admit it's actually sort of charming
And you know surely
I don't love you any less
I fell for you
Like a little moth mite
Of all the lights I've known
You are the brightest
But seriously...
How'd that lightbulb wind up in your forehead?
Screwed deep into your pink and meaty brain?
Why does it blink
when you dream and think
or ponder?
I've lost so much sleep
that light keeps me awake
Yeah, how'd you get a lightbulb in your forehead?
And does it ever need to be replaced?
I just ask
'Cause I'm curious, darlin'
Think I'd look good
With a lightbulb in my face?
