Preface to a Brief Love Affair

from Dead Animals by Brooks Strause

/

lyrics

Well, I know a moment is just a moment, I know that somethings only happen once and I would not surrender this one to a hundred men with guns. I have read the whole book twice and I still don't know what it's about, but I know that love is elastic, baby, and I want to stretch it out. Now, don't take this the wrong way, I don't want nobody getting hurt. I know how hard it can be to bandage a skinned knee and brush off the dirt. I know for certain patience is a virtue, I know sometimes there's never a right time, but I would kill to have one right now and it would not be a crime. Now, I cannot see any future or history I can't look past and I know that love has a short fuse, baby, but I want to make it last as long as it can, still, it will all be over so fast.
