Shelf Life (1998)
By
James Moats in Greensboro, NC
so tell me whats your shelf-life
how long will you hang around
before your taste is gone
you must be getting warm up there
it must be a shock
a room with a view
for my combination lock
the key belongs to you
someone has a story about a girl
the most persistent in the world
i meant what i said and i'll say it again
denial means nothing to the most sensitive men
as i open a beer
i force back a sneer
this is a point of interest
tell me how it feels
your carbonated blood
reality comes quick
i'm not your only love
