WINDSHEAR

Toothpaste in the bathroom, never squeezed it from the top
Take a shower first and use up all the hot water
Pick up all my clothes and put them back where they'd belong
You knew I'd never find them that way

Righteous girl, oppressiveness never seeped into your attitude
Battered wives, CFC's, beached whale in Iowa somewhere
Flavor of the day, maybe even week or two
Ethnic jokes never, ever got a laugh

CHORUS 1
And you always thought that you were such
A moral vegetarian
Sanctified your good heart with oat bran
With leather boots and alligator suitcase
You'd demand
A special meatless airplane menu

You talked correct, you walked erect, went into the airport
Chided me, lack of principles, pro-choice march I wouldn't go
Then some words and you turned away and so did I
Windshear in the middle of July

CHORUS 1
And you always thought that you were such
A moral vegetarian
Sanctified your good heart with oat bran
With leather boots and alligator suitcase
You demanded
A special meatless airplane menu

CHORUS 2
Don't think I'll mourn, I'm glad you're gone
I never dug that trip you're on
Hypocrisy with tofu on the side
Don't think I'll miss you just because
I never had a chance to say
A chance to say goodbye
