I felt a love of such deafening weight   Dangling from a balustrade of shilly-shally   Overlooking infinity and this ecstasy of you lying next to me   And in a peculiar way you clutched me   By the shoulder, said, "Boy I barely know you   But would you marry me?"      We were floating about with our heads in the clouds   And stealing those words from my mouth   You whispered in my ear   Exactly what I wanted to hear      Composed a note of such jubilant things   And placed it between bed and spring   Of a hostile hostel overrun with shedding towelettes   And Mexican maids and with indefinite fate   I clutched you by the shoulder said, "Girl, I barely know you   But would you marry me?"      We were floating about with our heads in the clouds   And stealing those words from my mouth   You whispered in my ear   Exactly what I wanted to hear   Exactly what I wanted to hear   Exactly what I wanted to hear
