Lyrics

I wanna tell you a little story About this girl Who lives in my neighborhood There's a girl Stands on the corner You know she must be Seven feet tall in her plastic boots And all her fake fingernails They're painted lime green Not to mention her crooked wig Sitting on her head like a golden crown It's so hard always standing on the outside Will I ever be standing on the inside? Someday I walk right up to her I won't even care if Mr. Low is there Celeste, why you wanna stand on the corner? Let's get a cup of coffee and a doughnut Talk to me for a little while I wanna talk to you There's something I need to confess to you It's your face, your face And all the makeup and the paint, the paint It's so eerie it's so strange Everyday I steal away Just to see your face, your face And all the makeup and the paint, the paint It's so eerie it's so strange Everyday I steal away Just to see you standing there In your plastic boots Standing next to Mr. Low Mr. Low gives you no Tenderness, tenderness, tenderness, tenderness Sitting in my car Parked across the street Windshield wipers wash away the rain As I slip into a dream [Celeste] Cheap love, it blows my mind Cheap love, it blows my mind Cheap love, it blows my mind Cheap love, it blows my mind [Narrator] Celeste? [Celeste] Yes? [Narrator] What is this funny feeling that I feel inside my chest? [Celeste] Is it love or something much less? You want my love? [Narrator] Yes, but it's something that is very hard to confess Where do you live? [Celeste] Fruitvale Hey, you like my legs? [Narrator] All the way down to your toes [Celeste] You like my lips? [Narrator] Lips, and hips, and your tits [Celeste] You like my laugh? [Narrator] I prefer your chuckle [Celeste] You like the way I cut my hair? [Narrator] Uh-huh [Celeste] You need me around? [Narrator] Yes, Celeste [Celeste] You want my love? Then you must kill Mr. Low [Narrator, sung] Emerging from the shadows next to his door I shall produce a pair of scissors that I bought from the corner store Raising them up into the sky I shall catch Mr. Low by surprise Mr. Low, Mr. Low Stealing my heart Mr. Low, Mr. Low You're stealing my heart Mr. Low, Mr. Low Stealing my heart Mr. Low, Mr. Low Stealing my heart Perhaps you might hear a horrible moan As I force them down deep Deep into his collar bone His eyes so pretty like a little lost lamb Will look into mine and know my plan Mr. Low, Mr. Low Stealing my heart Mr. Low, Mr. Low You're stealing my heart Mr. Low, Mr. Low Stealing my heart Mr. Low, Mr. Low Stealing my heart I'll lower him so gently to the curb so slow Releasing his soul into the world below What else can I do Celeste to make you understand? I wanna be your man I wanna be your man I wanna be your man I swear I'll understand I wanna be your man I wanna be your man I wanna be your man (I wanna be your man, your man) I will be yours And you will be mine And we will be together to the end of time Oh yes And we will give each other until the end (until the end)
