Hello?

I’m just a little spacey

With a hint of head psychosis

But I am small and like to smile

So no one has to notice

No one ever has to see

That I go to the lake

How I open up my oven doors

And turn my mind on bake

I leave it in to burn a bit

And take it out to cool

‘Cause as I ruin this young mind

I stop feelin’ a fool

I’m in a 20-something phase

And sleep from three to two

I choose to drink a lot of beer

Though I have much to do

I’ll do it at another time

Between my guilt and fears

I’ll do it all for every one!

Be perfect by New Year’s!

And well, my friends, let truth be told

I’m really very shy

I just assert myself to you

In fear of “passersby”

Tonight I just discovered that

I am somebody’s aunt

I’d love to have close family

But as it’s goes - I can’t

And every day I curse the gods

For giving me my dreams

To make me always wonder “why?”

Of what is real or seems

Of course, if I could choose my life

I’d just turn on a tape

Then analyze the tunes inside

 And plan my great escape

See, what I really love, you know

Is listening to some Manson

‘Cause boys with striking, crazy eyes

Is just my kind of handsome

Sure, lots of people ask me

To come out, through telephone

I tell them I’m preoccupied

But really, I’m just stoned

And all day long I starve myself

I have a smoke and coffee

But once I’m off my working feet

Eat ice cream topped with toffee

Shucks, I ain’t got no college skills!

Just lucky I’s still here

But dammit, give me death, I say!

Than educated fear

The fear of being broke n’ poor

Though all I do is work

I work for this here government

…Those air-conditioned jerks

I’ve failed at all my weak attempts

Of being wife and mom

The dream that never was, you see

I’ve blown it up with bombs

I hold my tongue so many times

And never dress as “me”

So often do I feel like

There’s lots that I can’t be

Because when I let out myself

To all the peers and kin

They laugh at me or tear me down

By telling me I sin

And this is not just rock n roll

And this is not just sex

It’s all of those and many more

To make my life complex
