On The Side


Lithuanian Wedding

Boys carry girls over bridges
and bind their love with a lock
Girls go back some time later
and bust it with all that they've got
Some aunt with a flashy hat says
the lock just wasn't good enough
The bridesmaids blame it on the groom
The old men say marriage is just rough
Boys chase after girls whose names 
 are more interesting then their own
As long as its wild and it has
some sort of flower growing at the end
they are a long time gone
The lock can be the most unique
He could have carried her far enough
Love isn't rough
the reality that it doesn't stick around is.

So what is a girl to do?
Her name doesn't even rhyme with plain
and the love that she creates
is the love that he breaks

blame it on the lock.
