Amanda Palmer

Oh what a noble distiguished collection of fine little friends you have made
hitting the tables without you again no well wait no we promise well wait
june makes these excellent sewing machines out of common industrial waste
she spends a few months at a time on the couch
but shes safe she wears shades she wears shades
oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
and youre racist for playing along
youre only human after all
and youre learning that just cause they call themselves friends
doesnt mean theyll call
they made the comment and just
but youve got the needle I guess thats the point of it all
maybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you how nice life can be
we propped you right up in a chair on the deck with a beautiful view of the sea
but a couple days later we came back and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
you had magically moved to the closet eyes fixed on the spot where the dryer had been
oh yes no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
and youre racist for playing along
youre almost human after all
why on earth would I keep you locked up in here where you so love the fall
well the patterns laid out on the bed
with hundreds of colors of thread
but youve got the needle I guess thats the point in the end
its better to waste your life watching the scenery change at a comatose rate
and to put yourself in and turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hate
and while you were sleeping some men came around and said they had some dementions to take
im not sure what they were talking about but they sure a mess of your face
but still no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
and youre racist for coming along youre almost human even now
and just cause they call themself experts doesnt mean that theyll call
oh theyve got the permanent price and the homes with a stable address
and theyve got excitement and life by the fistful but youve got the meaning
i guess thats the point of it all
