Invite some friends over
Invite ‘em over and
Listen to my therapist
Two packs of cards on the table
She’s a non-binary feminist
And she, herself is a little unstable
Listen!
When I was at the airport
I was given the wrong luggage
But I left with it consciously
Cause I was too shy to say something
Now I’m dragging a suitcase
That looks just like my own
Now I dress like a minister but
I’m still having dinner alone
I would love to have been on your TV set
A marked letter in your alphabet
Holy moly! Bow for the popular figure!
Take a lick of their fingers
Taste their immunity
And if tastes like a million bucks
Let me tell ya - It is only the jewelry
I feel them passing by me
I feel them passing over me!
Smiling with a fork in my hand not knowing
If it’s the food or the company
A transitional person with some
Uncanny traditions
I’m just sitting around, thinking -
What similar traditions!
Iron
Have you ever seen iron in its liquid state?
Well, I have.
Access the gutters.
The outfit I was wearing
Is now wearing itself!
Maybe a little bit on the side
I genuinely appreciate it
Put it on my left side!
Invite everyone over and
Over and over and over and over and
Over again
I’m having convulsions
Swipe the card and open the gates
Of a high-security building
Having access to multiple nuclear shelters
Must be a privilege
Welcome aboard
Welcome aboard!
See anyone drowning?
Just invite them ashore!
I feel them passing by me
I feel them passing over me
Smiling with a fork in my hand not knowing
If it’s the food or the company
A transitional person with some
Uncanny traditions
I’m just sitting around, thinking
What similar traditions
And now that I’m all dressed up
My little hands get dirty
I’m just sitting around, thinking -
What similar traditions!
