I don't want to get over you

    I guess I could take a sleeping pill

    And sleep at will

    And not have to go through what I go through

    I guess I should take Prozac, right

    And just smile all night

    At somebody new

    Somebody not too bright

    But sweet and kind

    Who would try to get you off my mind

    I could leave this agony behind

    Which is just what I'd do

    If I wanted to

    But I don't want to get over you

    Cause I don't want to get over love

    I could listen to my therapist

    Pretend you don't exist

    And not have to dream of what I dream of

    I could listen to all my friends

    And go out again

    And pretend it's enough

    Or I could make a career of being blue

    I could dress in black and read Camus

    Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth

    Like I was 17

    That would be a scream

    But I don't want to get over you

Pure poetry. The Magnetic Fields are amazing and if you don't think so, you're wrong. I had this weird, vivid dream a couple of nights ago. More to come in the next Pubski.
