Pictures of shadows encased in neatly arranged squares
Spinning my head let the needle drop
Why did we fail?
Tugging at a plastic heart
Isn't it so hard? Isn't it so hard?
Those flowers are bright as the stars in your eyes
They make me--puke
Its leaves cut a gash in the grass and I refuse
To go home with you
What have I to lose? What have I to lose?
I fell down the stairs on my way to the store
I'm out of bread
A polka-dot bird with a bum right knee asked
"Hey, are you dead?"
I said "No," but take my hand
Mutter a plea--a prayer for me
The bird said to me, "Life it isn't for free
So come follow me, and drink from this cup of misery
And leave me here for dead
Spinning my head let the needle drop
Why did we fail?
Tugging at a plastic heart
Isn't it so hard? Isn't it so hard?
Those flowers are bright as the stars in your eyes
They make me--puke
Its leaves cut a gash in the grass and I refuse
To go home with you
What have I to lose? What have I to lose?
I fell down the stairs on my way to the store
I'm out of bread
A polka-dot bird with a bum right knee asked
"Hey, are you dead?"
I said "No," but take my hand
Mutter a plea--a prayer for me
The bird said to me, "Life it isn't for free
So come follow me, and drink from this cup of misery
And leave me here for dead
