Elephant Parade Velcro
it's hard to tie my shoes
when your lips are missing
from my neck and ears and thighs and all
i really just want to escape
all those people telling me
life is not a joke
and become a troubadour
with a guitar on my back
so i can sing to you
all that i ever wanted
to say
to you
it's hard to tie my shoes when the
television's screaming words that i don't understand
i really just want to pretend
that i like living in this game
and playing without you
so i will buy some velcro shoes
with gold and blue on top
because that will make me happy
everything else is disappointing
it's hard to tie my shoes when
your lips are missing from my neck and ears and thighs
and face
i really just want to escape
i really just want to escape
i really just want to (escape)
