lyrics

i am a typewriter
my ivory fingers
crack and curse
with every sentence i transcribe
won't you be a poet
and rescue me
from my suburban dreams
fill my head with all your fancy
i will find a new purpose
once you've polished
the stains off my surface
and strung me up with a new ribbon
i will come alive
when our fingers touch
and yours gently glide
exploring new territories

i am just trying to keep all the pieces together
i need a good home to keep me from rusting in this rainy weather
i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship

i am a pentax k-1000
i shoot 35
millimetre film
in black and white
won't you be an artist
o be my eyes
focus the lens
set the aperture wide
won't you take me
far from my home
these cardboard boxes
overflowing with old electronics
take me to see the sights
i'll bear you many children
in prints glossy
in high resolution

i am just trying to keep all the pieces together
i need a good home to keep me from rusting in this rainy weather
i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship
