Why can't these fools keep it in their pants?

lyrics

They could be cute if they weren't so sad
Tonight they gonna get bad
For six minutes and a half
The heart it ain't no confidant
The heart just want the parts it wants.

He got the wife and kids at home.
But a doggie needs a bone.
So he's out here on his own.
He is yet another man who
forgot he got a left and right hand

She is falling for his lines.
A seventh glass of wine.
The comedy is divine.
Her man is home alone
He does not ever have to know
It could be vain it sho ain't smart
The heart just want the parts it wants.

Lizard brains and tingly parts rule us all.

"April is the funkiest month
Breeding the One out of the deadest ass
Remixing earth, wind and fire,
Stirring dull roots with purple rain."

What if I wrote a little revved-up Beatlesesque love song that is not a love song?
What if I wrote a little silly not love song just so I could introduce the funky part?
I wrote it so fast I had to steal the bridge from a song I done already wrote
I stole it from I song I done already stole from Stravinsky and Chayevsky

Is cheating like stealing a song from yourself
That you already stole from somebody else?
Is cheating like stealing a song from yourself
That you already stole from somebody else?

Six minutes, thirty seconds: BOOM!

How does it feel in the after?
Is it worth your life? Or losing your wife?
Is it worth the lies to cover up the lies?
And we rationalize and we rationalize
and we rationalize and compartmentalize.
It's really what we're the best at.
It's what human beings are the best at.

They are staring at the ceiling
Totally unfeeling
The comedy is ending.
It's just over.

Buggy Jive Albany, New York

BUGGY JIVE is a soul rock singer-songwriter quietly uploading music from a basement somewhere in Upstate New York.

Equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility, his lyrics often mine the literature of the past to make sense of the present – from Ellison to Morrison to Eliot to Didion.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say.
