lyrics

Elbows-- perpetually dry
It always gets so cold in these parts of New York
Friendships more enticing to deny
When every person that you meet was raised by Pitchfork
And the cute short-haired girl and her boyfriend
Are walking down t he staircase hand-in-hand
So I went and spent my Halloweekend
Standing by the punch-bowl as a caveman

And I forgot to ask,
What do you see?
Am I a man in a mask
Or is it really me?
There's this fear I've got
Held subconsciously
That I've not one thought not being thought for me

I see brown in a grey situation
That this hippy girl is in absolute control of
But on the walk home from the bus-station
I was certain of the beauty in the stars above
And there's a mark on my arm from where I gave blood
While I was trying to kill some time
Developmentally like a rosebud
Scales fallen off but is the stem still mine?
