Extra Credit

Counting my grief
At the fountain green
Meaning’s just for me
And ashbery

Hoping you’ll be here
Not holding my breath
I’ll make the effort
You cue the string section

Extra credit
Make it up after the fact
Extra credit
You’re smarter than you act

Causing a scene
At the Frick museum
The crowd gets real quiet
Before a beheading

Remember the Devil
Closes his deals
I’ll aid and abet you
Just make sure I regret it

Extra credit
You are satisfied with what you can steal
Extra credit
I know you don’t care how I feel

Teach me a lesson
Before Saturn returns
Take your time
Make it hurt
Last one to sleep
Has the longest night
Do you think the Moon thinks
It’s making its own light?

Extra credit
Make it up after the fact
Extra credit
You’re smarter than you act

Extra credit
You’re a life guard after I'm drowned
Extra credit
You get off on running the clock out

Extra credit
Someday you will make it alright
Extra credit
At least you had a hell of a time

How will you make it alright?
Oh, good luck sleeping at night
