You are at the height of your game aren't you
Would you not say that you agree baby
You got your grip all fine tuned and sparkling
Yeah you got your bored look all worked out
You are all enlightened, nothin makes you frightened
You ain't got no time to waste on entry level middle class
You are supercilious, pretty and ridiculous
You got really good taste, you know how to cut and paste

My love is the rarest jewel
And he grounds me with his love
My love he is rich like caramel
And he moves me from above

He sees me with tiger eyes
And that’s where I make my home
His heart is a shield which protects me from the violent cold

On a summer night, 1975
Maybe earlier, now I don't remember
She catches fireflies at the ice cream social
And oh
We watch them take flight

He is coming now with the rake on fire
He destroys the nest of the wasps up high

Verse 1]
You people and your cute little terms you like to throw around and make everybody squirm
Upper class, middle class, lower class, Sassafras
Everybody these days thinks that they're a bad-ass
How am I supposed to live in a world with no Madeline Kahn my favourite girl is gone
[?] is not an auto zone, 31 is trash and now I just want to be left alone

[Chorus]

(Verse)
You could probably say I'm difficult
I probably talk too much
I overanalyse and over think things
Yes it's a nasty crutch

(Verse)
I'm usually only waiting for you to stop talking

Bittersweet strawberry marshmallow butterscotch
Polarbear cashew dixieland phosphate chocolate
My tutti frutti special raspberry, leave it to me
Three grace scotch lassie cherry smash lemon freeze

I wanna go to Marz
Where green rivers flow
And your sweet sixteen is waiting for you after the show

If I think about it, I am successful as it were
I get to sing for lovely people all over this lovely world
And I am nowhere near as awkward as I was when I was younger
I guess I'm one of those guys who gets better looking as they age
And even though I have been beaten down by constant doubt,
The pressure and confusion brought about by people's actions, death, and tax forms
I keep getting up and I am loved by all my friends and family
Though there have been lots of raised eyebrows

I've felt uncomfortable since the day that I was born
Since the day I glimpsed the black abyss in your eyes
There's no way you could make all of this shit up on your own
It could only come from the mastermind of lies

I can't believe that I've considered taking my own life
'Cause I believed the lies about me were the truth
It will be magic to watch your transformation when you realise that you've been had

Have you got depression?
Passive aggression?
Did they stop loving you
And you're the only one who doesn't know?
You forgot your medication
And Sade is playing on the radio

They say you were always enough

[Verse 1]
We see our hero in his chambers now
Luxuriating on a water bed
He should enjoy it if he can somehow
Cause soon he'll wish that he were dead
Did you hear the one about the monkey's paw
Some people dig that sort of thing
Well this will be much worse I promise you

Bittersweet Strawberry, Marshmallow, Butterscotch
Polar Bear, Cashew, Dixieland, Phosphate, Chocolate
Lime, Tuttifrutti, Special Raspberry, Leave it to Me
Three Grace, Scotch Lassie, Cherry Smash, Lemon Freeze

I want to go to Marz where Green Rivers flow
And your Sweet Sixteen is waiting for you after the show
I want to go to Marz, you'll meet the Gold Dust Twins tonight

Back then I often found myself
Driving on the road at night,
And the radio was broadcasting the ocean.
Warm late Spring wind whips through my hair.
I am right here, but I wanna be there,
And no one in this world is gonna stop me.

Pale green ghosts at the end of May--

I wanted to change the world
But I could not even change my underwear
And when the shit got really really out of hand
I had it all the way up to my hairline
Which keeps receding like my self-confidence
As if I ever had any of that stuff anyway
I hope I didn’t destroy your celebration
Or your Bar Mitzvah, birthday party or your Christmas

When I woke up today, the air was very strange
I couldn't feel my skin and there was evil in my bones
I tried to speak but found that I didn't have a voice
It was a prison like the one you would find in the twilight zone

And I feel just like Sigourney Weaver
When she had to kill those aliens
And one guy tried to get them back to the earth

I wish that I could get up in the early morning time
Things would fall out of the sky into my lap

I wish I had the brain of a tyrannosaurus rex
So that I wouldn't have to deal with all this crap

I wish that I'd been born with skin that turned to golden brown
While at the beach relaxing in the summer time

[Verse 1]
It is difficult for you to be so beautiful
Or do you find the advantages tend to outweigh the disadvantages?
Am I rude?
I'm sorry, I've never had the appropriate attitude
Do you think that life is easier when looks as good as you do
Or do people always say that you're a narcissist
Do they ingratiate themselves to you and act all obsequious?

For TC and his Honeybear
The world will not stop moving
Roundezvous and longing stares
And hearts that won't stop burning

Before that Honeybear had given up
He felt so sad and lonely
Then one night he looked up and he saw

To say that I'm a man undone
Is understatement at its worst
I was completely incapacitated
By your southern charm
It hit me like an ancient gypsy curse
But this instrument you use with such precision
It's like a concrete wall, a thousand meters tall
And I've tried to climb its icy walls a million times

Your Beauty is Unstoppable, your confidence unspeakable
I know you know I know you know, that I know that you know
I'm willing to do anything, to get attention from you dear, even
though I don't have anything that I could bargain with

This is like a well-oiled machine, could I please see that smile again?
It's all that makes me feel like I am living in this world, I see you closing
all the doors, I see the walls as they go up, I know it's what you have to do
