The Beginning Of Time
had to unscrew the counter top
to get to the coffee pot
that's a lot of work for a cup of joe
the tin says brown gold
I can only hope it's not too old
there's something about rotten coffee grinds
takes me back to the beginning of time
where I met you, clad in a fig leaf
though I was a crass serpent
and we ate from forbidden fruit
while over our shoulders we viewed our future pass
it turns out you were the snake in the grass
there's something about rotten coffee grinds
takes me back to the beginning of time
there were moments no one can take away
we weren't paper sketches, molded in clay
we laughed, we sang, we danced
had ourselves one sweet romance
not every barn fire is the gateway to hell
there's something about rotten coffee grinds
takes me back to the beginning of time
