didn't you know?
-------------------------
you wave your hair like the blues
I don't know what to do
you turn my hands to wave pools
look into my eyes
my feet have started to cry
I'm running home again
call me anytime
I'm wanted to die
I'm hoping you'll try to kill me sometime
and if you didn't notice
I've already blown it
-------------------------
didn't you know?

pictures of you and me in my computer memory
there's nothing I can do but look at them
and I know my chances are so slim
as slim as your new man is so trim
I wanna take a sledgehammer to my heart
every time I look into your eyes I know I could've been nicer
and every time you show me your smile I remember when you bit me with your incisors
if you need a friend I'm not the one
if you need a man may I remind you that I'm already well done
I wanna take a sledgehammer to my heart
I think I need a new brain size medium shrink to fit
I didn't think that my depression could be such a hit with the kids
I wanna take a sledgehammer to my heart

I guess it's time to ice fishing in my brain
get out every thing every little bit of pain
the world's chewing at this deer corn heart of mine
don't tell me this is the season to give
your kids are looking as dull and dumb as ever
and this party looks as cheap and tacky as hell
the world keeps on chewing at this deer corn heart of mine
don't tell me this is the season to give
I want to trade this life in for one that fits
all this holiday cheer bites me right in the rear
the world keeps on chewing on this deer corn heart of mine
don't tell me this is the season to give

tie me down you can do what you'd like
all those things I just can't pronounce
when every one leave up and dies
I hope you'll stay
because this is it
in your Yo La Tengo t-shirt
listening to TP-2.com
this is it
this is it
Michael Jackson
always alright but I had my eyes out
in a glass so red so tired
and if you'll just see me whenever you can
all I want is to be held in your hand
say what you want and you know what you need
but this is it
this is it
Michael Jackson

(I dreamed that I kissed you and it was like learning how to stutter)
------
when your parents put you in that crib
there was a man outside and in the dark he hid
and when you cried all through the night
he just whispered to you
it ain't gonna be alright
we treat our bodies like our parents' money pits
roll your eyes and sigh you're over it
when you call me in the middle of the night
your voice is velvet in the cold pale moonlight
you just want me to hold your hair
I won't tell no one because I just don't care
it ain't gonna be alright
when you're in your room all alone
there's a little voice inside you telling you to come on home
and if you follow it out past the train tracks
you know you're never coming back
it ain't gonna be alright
------
you met the Turk at the university
in the back of his borrowed car he made you feel so lonely
you dreamed your boyfriend's porcelain member
came across the country to you from the Hudson River
Sax and Quigley told you "don't be silly go and tell the rabbi"
but you're never going home again
when you went into Cindy Wong's room
you found candy wrappers strewn all around
when Cindy Wong broke into your room
she saw you hanging all around your room
because you knew you're never going home again
-----
(I rolled around with you
I wrestled with you
trying to make you love me
but you were dead)

I'm on your mind like Jodeci running around
saying "hey why don't you notice me"
and I want to be the Dwayne to your Whitley
come on baby get with me
give me a kiss and you'll know what we can do with this
I want to get grown on you
do something guaranteed to make you moan
girl what you say you know it's whatever you feel
because you're a dime and you know
girl I know just what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna put the sweet South right on you
you'll get so addicted to the groove
you won't care what I do
just as long as I've got the moves
girl I know that you're into me
come on let's make history together
on your parents fold out couch
watching a movie starring Meg Ryan and Mr. Tom Hanks himself
girl what you say you know it's whatever you feel
because you're a dime and you know

why don't you come see me
in my yard underneath the grapefruit tree
and if you take me up off the shelf
I'll send you a topless picture I took of myself
when you go away
all I do is lay in bed all day
and if it helps with my health
I'll send you a topless picture I took of myself

Christmas Music

I'm gonna out to a bar tonight
I'm gonna to stay until it starts to empty out
and I'll stay in the back and wait to take home
the loneliest girl I can find
I'm not looking for company
I'm just looking for a couple of hours away
from the stares of the Christmas lights
and the creepy robot Santa my mom sent me
Gail told me she was gay until graduation
I didn't know my sister had class in session
every part of me is snowed in
don't even let me begin
I'm gonna drink the angel up above my Christmas tree under the table
you little shit
come on won't you tell me what you're smiling about tonight
you little shit
I'm gonna give you something right now to smile about
I might as well go home and hang myself
from my mistletoe
or put some fruit cake in my pockets
and walk into the water and never look back
it is the season of cheer
but I don't know who it's for
it's a season of mirth
I don't even know what that is
I'm drunk on eggnog and I feel like shit
I've got a little vomit on the reindeer on my sweater
I'm all alone on the couch in my living room
watching a Cheers marathon on cable
I wanna be dead today
I'm gonna drink the angel up above my Christmas tree under the table
you little shit
come on won't you tell me what you're smiling about tonight
you little shit
I'm gonna give you something right now to smile about

I saw you at the fair grounds
it's been a year or two
oh my god it's been four
I ducked into the hall of mirrors
so you wouldn't see me sigh
into my third corn dog
when I got my degree I moved home
because there was nothing I could think of to do
one of those guys you used to hang out with in parking lots said
you have a husband and a kid you're in the Navy
you've got a life now
Shelly's got a life now
in a high school play we're just whispering on a bed
waiting to get wheeled out onto stage
in the green room my ex-girlfriend is saying
"why's he got to hang out with a girl like that?"
but you've got a life now
Shelly's got a life now
