Every Fragrant Creature

from Difficult To Like (demos) by David Safran

/

lyrics

Now to every fragrant creature, I have to say:
“I am the finest singer Fate has tossed our way.”

My only wonder and crumb of comfort:
We are weak and getting weaker –
Every fragrant creature.

The only woman I want has been gone for months.
Each time I stand up, twenty things happen at once.

A low-key affair: she never was there,
And I would often leave her
For every fragrant creature.

There lurks a fault, a happy thought,
A cry for authorial intrusion:
I tell these kids of the Music Biz
“Line up according to evolution.”

I fill my days finding new ways
To disappoint my mother.
And every fragrant creature.

I twist the knife deeper
Into every fragrant creature.
