Can I Watch?


I know it seems suspicious
But my motive’s not malicious
And there’s no one in my life
Can I watch you come online?
Can I watch you come online?

It’s not a first edition
But it’s in very fine condition
And signed by the author’s second wife
Can I watch you start to cry?
Can I watch you start to cry?

I tried not to be annoying
But my affections can be cloying
Like a sugar-coated mouse
Can I watch you shrink and hide?
Can I watch you shrink and hide?

It’s a flagrant disregard
But I’m camped in your back yard
With the pool boy and your spouse
Can I watch you die inside?
Can I watch you die inside?

It’s not in good condition
But it’s a limited edition
And I’d like to take it out now
And place it on your shelf
