In the warm part of my room
I been practicing my moves
Children sleep if you give em beds
Divers close their eyes at the edge
And I turn heads but I dunno why
aa ooo
I’m a big surprise
I put the cello down
And then you see
All my bad luck just seemed fair
When you said yeah I’ll cut your hair
That meant yes I will touch your neck
A few good prayers and look what you get
The blondes at my church aren’t having fun
aa ooo
I’m the only one
But I’m having fun
Most of the time
Eyes like mine you don’t need smarts
Science kids they don’t need arts
Arts don’t count if they don’t look weird
I night driveway practiced for years
And all I got was this fucking shirt
aa ooo
Hours and hours and hours were blurred
Fear me
I’m a big word
Can you come over?
Everyone I know is batshit
And I’m on a downward swing
