Oak Tree 

Lyrics by TomToles

Quite the moonlit vision
So lovely in the dark 
Smooth and lithe and graceful  
Encased in Lethal Bark 
     
 
It's like fucking an oak tree   
Not that I would know     

Maybe I expected too much too fast 

But did it have to be this slow? 


After three hot summers 

And three long winters         

What do I have to show for it? 

Blisters and splinters
 

It's like fucking an oak tree 
At least in one regard 
Something looked so simple

Turned out pretty hard 

Review the situation 
To see what I got
You walk away to better things 

I'm stuck in this knot        

Like fucking an oak tree        
Against the grain
The beautiful thing you showed me    
Just a lot of pain

It's like fucking an oak tree
I guess I'll never be free
If someday you return you'll see
All the acorns look just like me.
