Houseguest

Mailman came while you were out
I was sleeping at your house
Letter from your lover,
with an Ottowa address
Fill your shower up with steam
Find out what you mean to him
Before I hand it over, I'll glue the flap back down and press
Yes, I'll leave everything the way I found it
I bet I'm the best houseguest
Houseguest you've ever had
I bet I'm the best houseguest
Houseguest you've ever had
Never leave my socks around
Always turn the TV down
and when I leave, I never leave a mess
We were dozing on the couch
There was nothing much to watch
Other than my manners
and your waning graciousness
Eased your thumb off the remote
Place my palms against your throat
The heat here's infernal
Well, so's that entry in your journal
It changed everything the day I found it
I'll bet…
