Think of a team name you say –<\/p>\n
‘We’ll be inseparable from that day<\/p>\n
I want us to be as tight as a rope<\/p>\n
I want you to be my handler<\/p>\n
My friend and my hope<\/p>\n
I’m barely indulging at all these days –<\/p>\n
Practically clean<\/p>\n
And I love you bumhead’ …<\/p>\n
That’s what you said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Think of a team name you say –<\/p>\n
But whatever is the point<\/p>\n
When we both know it will always escape your memory<\/p>\n
But never your lips<\/p>\n
That it’ll just be a forgotten ceremony<\/p>\n
On one of your trips<\/p>\n
And you’ll roll up a joint<\/p>\n
Just to take the edge off<\/p>\n
And forget what you said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Think of a team name you say –<\/p>\n
And I want to do the whole thing –<\/p>\n
Team colours to wear and a team song to sing<\/p>\n
A motto, a mascot –<\/p>\n
But you do this a lot –<\/p>\n
Get me to dream<\/p>\n
By mentioning things you only temporarily mean<\/p>\n
I wait for the comedown to start<\/p>\n
And brace my still-high heart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Think of a team name you say<\/p>\n
And I don’t want to –<\/p>\n
Not today.’<\/p>\n
