THE LAND OF MILK
THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY HONEY
Going on holiday is like winning the lottery
All of a sudden you have a wallet full of foreign
money You eat brunch everyday & dinner with
a reservation at night Handsome men call you honey
And cocktails called Bitches Brew await you
But so does your plane home Where multitudes
of baby carpenter ants are hatching and the dog
out back is barking a brand new tune
And soon you won’t have to pinch yourself to know you’re awake
