lyrics

whole neighborhood watch me strolling down the block
new day same lane, catch me in my spot
whole neighborhood watch me strolling down the block
new day, same

sunflower sensibilities
photosynthetic memories
insta-kodak dream thing
schemin' in the seventies
washed my jeans a week ago
feeling hella heavenly
had a cigarette
blamed it on my pedigree
back-pedaling impeccably
to a lazy week
peeled paint, front porch
hung where my head should be
walking the walk
look at the way
i move carefully
feeling freedom on my skin
velveteen summer dream

whole neighborhood watch me strolling down the block
new day same lane, catch me in my spot
whole neighborhood watch me strolling down the block
new day, same

catching the most flies with honey, sugar
careless caffeine bum still stunting on the sunscreen
pollinator hater, i'm your tiger-lily ice cream
dried on the dashboard, banging on a tambourine singing…

i'm too smooth
butter on a hot knife
dripping down a pancake
i think i'd make a good wife
to a rich man
who can stand
my big fat opinions
infatuation with red onions
when i'm done
leave you breathless
rip tide halitosis
missed my train twice
kicked it with the hobos
in my fur coat
like moses
parted the red sea
i part crowds in the DMV
I don't take numbers
and I don't give em neither
tell your boyfriends
girlfriends
and all your neighbors
i accept most bribes
most legal tender
let's get stuck
on this elevator
