Exhibit A We are friends in a sleeping bag
Splitting the heat we have one filthy pillow to share
And your lips are in my hair
Someone upstairs has a rap that we laugh at
And people are drinking and singing the scarborough fair
On a ukelele dare
Exhibit B Well we found an apartment
Its not much to look at
A futon on the floor
Dirty desktop for a door
All the decors made of milk crates and duct tape
And if we have sex they can hear us through the floor
But we dont do that anymore
And I lay there wondering what is the matter
Is this a matter of worse or of better
You took the blanket so I took the bed sheet
And I would have held if youd only let me
Exhibit C Look how quaint and how quiet and private
Our pay checks have bought us a condo in town
Its the nicest flat around
You picked a mattress and had it delivered
And I walked upstairs and the sight of it made my heart pound
And I wrapped my arms around me
And I lay there wondering what is the matter
Is this a matter of worse or of better
You walked right past me and straightened the covers
And I would still love you if you wanted a lover
And you said All the money in the world
Wont buy a bed so big and wide
To guarantee that you wont accidentally touch me in the night
Then I said You must be right
Exhibit D Now we are both mostly paralyzed
Dont know how long weve been lying here in fear
Too afraid to even feel
I find my glasses and you turn the light out
Roll off on your side like youve rolled away for years
Holding back those king-sized tears
And I still dont ask you what is the matter
Is it a matter of worse or of better
You take the heart-failure Ill take the cancer
Ive long since stopped wondering why you dont answer
Exhibit E You can certainly see
How fulfilling a life from the cost and size of stone
Of our final resting home
We got some nice ones right under a cherry tree
You and me lying the only way we know
Side by side and still and cold
And I finally ask you what was the matter
Was this a matter of worse or of better
You stretch your arms out and finally face me
And said
I would have told you if youd only asked me
Youd only asked me
Youd only asked me
