Regina Spektor Making Records
I am braiding records into my hair Needles and record players Everything's a Possible record cover Or a possible name for a band that I will never have I will never have
'Cause I sing my songs all by myself All to myself From myself I am cute But I'm not in a band Where's my band? Where's my band? Where's my amplifiers?
So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen Surrounded by forks and a linoleum floor I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so tired and sleeping with my mascara on
In the studio They're adjusting the wires and microphones And I'm about to sing my songs And they won't be just my own And I'm glad that they'll exist But they'll make me obsolete
'Cause I sing it just once, and the wires, they remember it And sing it right back And they do it better than I can Anytime, anywhere, I'm preserved I'm a jelly or a jam Jelly or a jam
So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen A halo of forks and a linoleum floor I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so tired and being so drunk Why don't I just pee in the middle of this kitchen Into a little teacup and I won't miss a drop I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so eccentric and being so lonely
Corazón Corazón This is my Corazón
I know that I am lucky I make shit up all the time And I start to believe it myself Just 'cause it rhymes But I'm so inconsistent My handwriting changes every other word So I'm braiding records into my hair Needles and record players Everything's a Possible record cover Or a possible name for a band that I will never have I will never have Never have Never have Never have
So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen A halo of forks and a linoleum floor I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so drunk and being so drunk Why don't I just pee in the middle of this kitchen Into a little teacup and I won't miss a drop I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me From being so eccentric and being so lonely
