John Vanderslice – Dear Sarah Shu lyrics

Dear sarah shu,
I leave for you
All I knew about this job
On microcassette for further review

What it meant to me
How you'll make it dear, hopefully
It's dangerous here
Yes it's dangerous here

Peer round corners with dental mirrors,
Heed the threats, taking cautionary measures,
In the end, it is love
You'll have to learn to survive

Dear sarah shu,
I leave for you
All I knew about this job
On palmcorder for future review

Your office will flood every night,
It's water, don't try to fight it
Suspend all your files using
My system of hanging wires

Break apart what I connected
Show what I only suggested
'cause in the end it was love
I had to learn to survive

Picture me by the window sill
Wrapped in copper wire, my autumn sleeves,
With torn up directives
Spread round the floor like shoreham leaves

Picture me locking office door, now
Kneeling down on the floor,
Screaming: protection,
I can make it, I can make it??

Peer round corners with dental mirrors,
Heed the threats, taking cautionary measures,
But in the end, it is love
You'll have to learn to survive

So long, sarah shu,
Farewell to you,
Stay calm, stay sweet,
Regards from the other side of the teeth

Break apart what I connected
Show what I only suggested
'cause in the end it was love
We had to learn to survive
