Sir, I thought I had you down
I speak of your occurrences as if I understand your motives

You come for conversation, sometimes maybe for fright
You ask for a deal, a simple shaking of the hand
but at times resign with a shaking of the head

I would love to listen in on the conversations,
What do you promise them, to make them agree to follow you into that moonless sky?

I dreamt of you as a child. I feared you introduced yourself to my mom. I wondered when she would sign that dotted line.

Sir, I thought I had you down
until tonight

This time the deal appeared unfulfilled
You crossed into unmarked territory, the land went unwatched.

You stole the crops, and left the field without an apology.

I forgave you once in the past, once multiply that by five

This time I didn't understand

Please slow down this time you struck too soon.
This time you stuck too soon.
