The New Enzyme Detergent Demise Of Ali Macgraw Lyrics

Mine was a Wednesday death

One afternoon

at approximately three-fifteen

I gave up and died

and nobody cried



Mine was a bloodless death

Not grim

Not gory

More like

Ali Macgraw's new enzyme

detergent demise in ?love story?

Neat and tidy

unlike Christ's on Friday



Friends were fooled

by the fact

I still breathed

And I spoke

And I smiled

And I lied

in my handy dandy

imitation life disguise kit

I sent away for it

The styrofoam face

fits so neatly in place

with the pre-recorded voice

of your choice

and it almost sounds read

it's a guaranteed deal

And you don't feel a thing

And you can teach it to sing

And all your friends

Are deceived

And nobody grieves



Mine was a Wednesday death

One afternoon

at approximately three-fifteen

I was quietly

laid to rest

And nobody guessed



A handy disposable heart

marks time in a plastic breast

And so it goes

And nobody knows

I am

non

bio-degradable.
