lyrics

it’s hard to pull my own hair and
harder to
do anything when the VCR has suspended me in this fluorescent blue
am i gonna write a song every time
someone
looks my way and gets me undone?
feeling the projector light glow
bouncing back onto us and playing Fargo.

and i’ve never felt more fine
than when i heard the wood chipper whine
and ive never wanted to be
anyone more than Steve Buschemi
when he was painted all over the snow
you made a crime scene of my neck you know.
and though i hoped police sounds drowned us out
i think your roommates heard us anyhow
and i think it’s funny how
we listened to people dying while we make out.

kneeling in front of the mirror and
staying up all night
I’m all worn out
no one’s done that in such a long time.
you weren’t scared of me when you
took me and made my face turn blue
i can’t breathe
but baby i don’t want to

we flip the tape
now Star Wars episode one is playing
and we’re still listening to people die
making out to the sound of a lightsaber fight.
and i almost feel asleep
between my Midwest crime and your space fleet
when it was time for me to go
you kissed me goodbye twice then i went home
got into the cab and said how do you do
he said i’m good but girl but would you look at you
