Dark Eyes from Dybbuk by Buffo's Wake

Dark Eyes

I’ve got the most beautiful boyfriend, how I adore him, those other boyfriends that came before him
They do not compare, that’s why they’re there and he is here oh he is dear and clearly rare
He’s got the most wonderful dark eyes, they shape the sunrise, leaving me mesmerized and hypnotized in his modern moonlight
He makes my head light despite this heavy life, weighted by those pigs and all their heavy lies
See, I always fall for the wrong guys, the ones with dark eyes, promising paradise but delivering dull tripe
But not this boyfriend! Mien leiber her and a swear we’ll be together until the day we die

But there’s just this one thing, before he gets this ring, before he makes me scream and creep into his dreams

He won’t steal those dark eyes from every ass he sees
He feeds in to this raging speeding insecurity
He will never know what terrors he offers up to me
When he glues his glare to any mare in his periphery

So I tell my beautiful and wonderful and undeniably fuckable…
Boyfriend peel your dark eyes off those villain’s before I send them to eyeball heaven
The will not pass go and collect two oh oh and you’ll never see out of your peeping holes no more
He answers with a “hey hey baby my one and only, for you I only have these dark eyes for you see?”
How I believed him and his deception and then we kissed as if our lips missed being meat
And then the very next morning, we went out walking, those cheapened dolls and roaches scurried by our worn wandering feet
I saw his head turn, he spurned my heart burn and in turn catapulted insult to injury

Once I foolishly wept
that night, I crept up to
where those dark eyes slept
and collected my debt

I fixed his ankles and weak wrists set for observation
I hovered over, a keen surgeon and new optician
I found his iris and cornea with lemon gloves on
I pressed down till that lychee swelled up and burst on my thumb

So I pull my marigolds out from the twin holes of my beautiful and magical and undeniably fuckable
Boyfriend and lingered for 10 seconds, to let him drive thunder up towards the heavens
Oh how he cursed me, his one and only, but he’ll live to forgive his true love you ‘ll see
the moral of the story despite how gory, hell hath no fury like a lover of a fiend
plus, once dust settles, I know that I will be the last thing that those dark eyes ever see
I’ve got the most wonderful boyfriend, how I adore him. Those other boyfriends that came before him
They do not compare, that’s why they’re there and he is here, oh he is dear and clearly rare
