Stuffed Animal - Crumb

Well-to-do white boy what’s the matter

Did all you parents' dreams just shatter

Or might yours come true

And what about the children you’ll have

Will they be sad too

You’re so corroded never had a shower

The pain will wash off in an hour

Then I will let you go

And your shape will be restored

Why don’t you ever comfort me

Late afternoons, rhododendron tea

Why don’t you ever comfort me

You me gazebo lie blue blazer backyard fly

Why don’t you ever comfort me

Once was lost now I’m sound

Should have known I would have drowned

Peace in an hour

Welcome well no one is home

Your grandparents aren’t home

You used to dream of me now all you do is watch TV

You can’t move you’re just there

The sun can bleach your hair

But I won’t leave you trapped and alone

So don’t look at me that way

Because I’m the one that brought you home

.. .

Big time let down.

.

Once filled with wonder now I’m over and under

And I can see the roots from here my dear

Stay, stray
