Week 05 - Where Is Margot Robbie When You Need Her (190127)

from Song A Week, Volume 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

How bittersweet the taste to know you’ll never hold
An angel in your arms
Skin as smooth as half and half two lips like a rose
TNT straight to your heart

Tonya Harding Harley Quinn and Elizabeth The First
She rocks any role she plays
Gotta’ meet her think I need her even if it hurts
Yes I’ll do anything it takes

I’d die and go to heaven if that would do the trick
Spin that metal chamber squeeze until it clicks
Blink my bloodshot eyes look around and ask Saint Peter
Where is Margot Robbie when you need her

Her laugh is like a cupcake for both my ears to eat
Without that messy frosting in my hair
Her eyes light up like safety flares and fill these city streets
Except no one had to die there

I’d sell my vital organs to spend a couple days
Half awake and slowly bleeding out in her embrace
She would give my eulogy and stun the holy preacher
Where is Margot Robbie when you need her

Tom Ackerley you bastard I hope you know you “married up”
Well, anyone would have to honestly
If you ever choose to leave her, then you’re just plain nuts
But try to mention me before you leave

I’d crawl inside a mailbox with a big old bag of food
Intercept the invite to a bash in Hollywood
Demand an introduction from a washed up Justin Bieber
Where is Margot Robbie when you need her

I’d climb the highest mountain or dive the deepest sea
Steal a plane or rob a bank if she would notice me
But instead I’ll strum this ditty in my t-shirt jeans and sneakers
Where is Margot Robbie when you need her

I’ll wonder every day until I finally meet the reaper
Where is Margot Robbie when you need her
