lyrics

Plastic Heart

Pictures of shadows encased in neatly arranged squares
Spinning my head—let the needle drop
Why did we fail?
Tugging at a plastic heart
Isn’t it so hard
Isn’t it so hard
Those flowers are bright as the stars in your eyes;
they make me puke.
Its leaves cut a gash in the grass and I refuse
To go home with you
What have I to lose
What have I to lose
I fell down the stairs on my way to the store;
I’m out of bread
A polka-dot bird with a bum right knee asked,
“Hey, are you dead?”
I said, “No, but take my hand,
Mutter a plea—a prayer for me.”
The bird—he said to me, “Life—
It isn’t for free. So come follow me
And drink from this cup of misery.
Leave me here for dead.”
