Campos Magneticos

I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
and sleep at will
not have to go through what I go through.
I guess I should take Prozac right
and just smile all night
at somebody new
Somebody not too bright
but sweet and kind
who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
which is just what I'd do if I wanted to
but I don't want to get over you
I could listen to my therapist
pretend you don't exist
and not have to dream of what I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
and go out again
and pretend it's enough,
or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
like I was 17 (that would be a scream)
but I don't want to get over you.
