Vegetable Cruelty

(Music and Lyrics:  Sam Mullins)

When I say goodbye, you sigh sweetly
And I lie to you
Pumkins and Squash are lost on me
Good gosh, how could I be so cruel?

Letting the grass turn brown.
Watching the olive tree bow down

When you went away and you were afraid
That the mulch would not be laid in time
The carrots and peas weren’t pleased with me
Disease has halted their upward climb, so I’m

Letting the grass turn brown.
Watching the olive tree bow down

I don’t like asparagus
String beans fill me with disgust
I chopped down the broccoli
Cause all these pretty plants you see are weeds to me

Delores

(Music and Lyrics:  Sam Mullins)

You stop a passerby to take a Polaroid
To save the day
When I ask you why you’re so paranoid
You say “I’ll fade away.”

Isn’t it too early to pack it in
Happiness is not a mortal sin

Say a prayer for Delores
Say a prayer for me
Pray the world will ignore us
Just let us be
The kind of people we need to be

You say you know
How the story ends
No need to play it out again
But I may throw a monkey wrench
In your plans for who, what, why, where and when.

Isn’t it a shame to call it off
Do you really think we’ve had enough
