Lyrics

[Verse 1] Karen, I'm not taking sides I don't think I'll ever do that again I'll end up winning and I won't know why I'm really trying to shine here, I'm really trying You're changing clothes and closing windows on me all the time [Chorus] Well whatever you do, listen, you'd better wait for me No I wouldn't go out alone into America Whatever you do, listen, you'd better wait for me No I wouldn't go out alone [Verse 2] Karen, we should call your father, maybe it's just a phase He'll know the trick to get a wayward soul to change his ways It's a common fetish, for a doting man, to ballerina on the coffee table cock in hand [Chorus] Well whatever you do, listen, you'd better wait for me No I wouldn't go out alone into America Whatever you do, listen, you'd better wait for me No I wouldn't go out alone [Bridge] Without warm water in my head All I see is black and white and red I feel mechanical and thin Hear me play my violin again I'm living in the target's shoes All I see is black and white and blue Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest, protect the title [Verse 3] Karen put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink I lost direction and I'm past my peak I'm telling you, this isn't me, no this isn't me Karen believe me, you just haven't seen my good side yet [Chorus] Well whatever you do, listen, you'd better wait for me No I wouldn't go out alone into America Whatever you do, listen, you'd better wait for me No I wouldn't go out alone [Bridge] Without warm water in my head All I see is black and white and red I feel mechanical and thin Hear me play my violin again I'm living in the target's shoes All I see is black and white and blue Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest, protect the title [Coda] I must be me, I'm in my head Black birds are circling my bed I must be me, I must be me Black feathers are falling on my feet Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest, protect the title Idle, idle, idle, idle, protect the nest, protect the title
