Hello darling what a beautiful day
misogyny is here to stay
hello darkness my true friend

shoes / I'm terribly attracted to you
she mumbled something as she got down on all fours
she mumbled something on the floor
the floor
I love it when we fuck
fuck on the floor

We were mad and young and high on fumes
we found bags went to bed at noon
these memories of yesteryear
move like sparrows through my mind
splashing droplets of puddles to observe
these days I'm seared and sizzled sure
a little regret and a secret wish for more
filleted like some crazed congo fish
that's not at all advised safe to eat
my secret wish
you never stop to say 'hello'...
now you don't stop to say 'hello'
now you don't stop to say 'hello'
now you don't stop to say 'hi'
when you see me on the street
by all those pessimistic kids I'm just dying to meet
i'm sick to death of these radio cures
so I sing la la la la la
la la la la la

check it out baby oh yeah
you're the betters / you're the best / at the beginning / not at last
the way you stroke your ukulele makes me wish that I were it
the way you said you have to kiss to see if you feel something
makes me loose my shit /makes me loose my shit
it makes me loose it / loose my shit
you're the betters / you're the best / at the beginning / not at last
this is the middle 8 / I thought I was early but I'm late
you're the betters / you're the best / at the beginning / not at last
sexy woman, take me to your bedroom
let me show you how I work work work work work work
let me show you how I work work work work work work
work work work work work work work work work work
work work work work work work work work work.
You're the betters / you're the best / at the beginning
not at last (not at last)
You're the betters / you're the best / at the beginning / not at last
(you're the betters, you are the best)

she looks so sweetly
don't you know
know I want it
take me home and sit on it
meet the parents
you're the fastest bartender in greenpoint brooklyn
you play the violin when no one is listening
you serve with no razzle dazzle
but before the night is through
my heart goes to you
it's a vicious cycle
don't you, know you want it
take me home and sit on it
she's the fastest bartender in all of brooklyn
all of brooklyn, new york
all of brooklyn
all of brooklyn, new york
but before I pay
I can't see anymore coz my glasses are broken
I can't see anymore all my visions are shattered
her room is too modern for her heart
her room is too modern for her heart
when no one is listening she likes to play the violin
when no one is listening she likes to play the violin
but before you tip, shit-
I can't see anymore coz my glasses are broken
I can't hear anymore all my thoughts have been…
sailed by, say bye bye- to the beauty of you
(time, time is not on my side)
I change shapes just to hide where I've been
but I know I'm still an animal
an animal

MY DIZZY DIVA

She woke up dizzy
She's kind of a diva
She's no dummy, she just wants whiskey for breakfast
She pays four times more than she could afford
her rent
she pays four times more than she can afford
it's the biggest dry spell our parts have ever seen
that's right, bumping uglies
dry
she woke up dizzy
she's kind of a diva
she's no dummy, just wants whiskey for breakfast
she pays four times more than she can afford

the biggest dry spell our parts have ever seen
A girl without a car is like an angel with no wings
I would shit myself for you
I would break my fast for you
I would do one hundred and one mountains of blow for you
(maybe 102)
no one in this sidecar is gonna stop you
no one in this here sidecar is gonna stop you now

Hello, i'm the saddest girl in Brooklyn NY
on a Saturday night, just after midnight
I'm stuck at work until two. I'm feeling kind of blue
I don't smile / I don't need to
I'm never gonna ask "do you want fries with that?"
there was a time i wanted to believe
believe in my health believe in my home
but it's all so far away
the warm synths climb up like a bath
these phat beats are scorching hot
and I'm still making minimum wage
and i'm trying to keep my man out of jail
and that's why I'm the saddest girl in Brooklyn New York
I'm the saddest girl in Brooklyn New York

[stormy night]
Naked Amy:
whoa. i'm so glad i closed the windows when I went out
not that I even care about this place.
College is so lame.
Elijah Should:
Soo lame.
Naked Amy:
You go to College to make the stupid possible.
Elijah Should:
Whats this you're playing?
Naked Amy:
Oh it's a song I wrote! Do you want to hear?!
Elijah Should:
would it even matter if I said 'no' you stupid bitch?
Naked Amy:
what!?
Elijah Should:
no- no nothing
Naked Amy:
I'm afraid to follow my dreams
afraid I'll fail and fall prey to schemes
afraid I'll fall in the shower and be
eaten by hungry house cats
'for help press zero' sounds convenient
and easy in theory, so grand- fact-o-the matter is
no one's ever there
[both]
and the suicide help line can't help -
Naked Amy: Me
Elijah Should: You
Naked amy strips because her mother died in may
Naked Amy:
laaaaaaaast may
Elijah Should:
wow you really suck at that
Naked Amy:
shut up
Elijah Should:
Now she wants to make her dad pay
pay for her abortion, pay to fix her car
pay for her HIV exposure pills
Naked Amy: PEP Pills
Elijah Should:
and various other cheap thrills
Naked Amy:
Wa-hoo!
Elijah Should:
Naked amy is sick of seeing skulls and crossbones everywhere.
Naked Amy:
I want to celebrate life. Enough with this death. Let's celebrate the living for a change
People should smile more. Everyone looks beautiful when they smile.
(pretty pretty)
Sometimes they look like baby pit bulls.
[Both]
oh you. miserable you. (pretty pretty happy happy pretty pretty )
oh you. miserable you. (pretty pretty happy happy pretty pretty )
miserable
Madonna:
no one's ever there when you need help
no one's ever there when you need help
no one's ever there when you need help
no one's ever there when you need help
Elijah Should:
You go to college to make the stupid possible
you have nothing in your head
Go to college to make the dumb possible
you have nothing in your head- box head
you've got nothing
nothing in your head
Naked Amy:
Now I want to make my dad pay
pay for my abortion, pay to fix my car
pay for my HIV exposure pills -PEP Pills
Elijah Should:
and various other cheap thrills
Naked Amy strips because
Naked Amy:
my mommy is dead
Elijah Should:
her mother died from cancer last may
now she wants to make her dad pay
pay for her abortion, pay to fix her car
pay for her HIV exposure pills and various other cheap thrills
Naked Amy is a slut with nothing going on in her head
who wants to spend most of her days in bed
Naked Amy:
I sure do!

I'd be totally shocked if she never hooked up with Naked Amy
she's painting in her room all alone
(she's gotta be a lesbo!)
she's so white
she's so white
I'd be totally shocked…
she's so weird
she's so weird
(did you see what she had for lunch yesterday?)
I'd be totally shocked if she never hooked up with Naked Amy
because she don't want me?
is she poison to the night?
is she poison to the night?
is she poison to the night?
she's so weird
oh she's so weird
oh she's so weird
oh she's so weird
is she poison is she poison is she poison is she poison
is she poison is she poison is she poison is she poison
is she poison is she poison is she poison is she poison
is she poison is she poison is she poison is she poison
is she poison is she poison is she poison is she poison
is she poison is she poison is she poison to me? to me...
...and so i've been drinking more you'd be so proud of me…

you used to sing
when no one was listening
you used to sing when I was around
your collage is a masterpiece
the things that earn and attract money in this world must be wrong
because you're not rich and filthy
you used to sing for me
i'm here standing just outside your door
Well papa, you didn't have to stand right outside my door
i'm here standing just outside your door (I can hear you)
Well papa, you didn't have to stand right outside my door
again again again again sing for me again
please
sing for me again, please-please
like you did when we were tripping in Pepsi
they neglected all of their pretty sculptures in the garden
you see this song is a metaphor for our love
this song is a metaphor for our love
you used to sing as if no one was listening
i'm here standing just outside your door
I can hear you
(papa you didn't have to stand right outside the door)
they are watching can't you see? don't you hear me telling you!?
I am standing just outside your door
Well papa, you didn't have to stand right outside the door
you didn't have to stand right outside the door
with your whiskey in hand
I can't stand
I, I can't stand
Oh, I can't stand
again, sing again
