I see you girlfriend
I got so lucky wit chu
Yes, I feel ya strutter I got so lucky wit chu
So freaked out and depressed
But now, I see how I was so blessed, so blessed
With you girlfriend
I know there ain't no one person that
Everybody else in the world hates on, wants to die
Sometimes I do think it's me
Like, I'm in a flight simulator
And I am crashing the birth of any potential memory
Hey, I'm still way erect for you ain't gonna lie
You cured me of my death anxiety
Only took you two tries
Yeah, the head seemed and the back seemed (?) ... the vaccine
And I've chosen the very powerful penance
I know it girlfriend
I got so lucky with you
Yeah, I feel ya strutter I got so lucky with y0u
So I hammer on guitar for who you are
[/b]Or may be when you're...[/b]
I see you girlfriend
I got so lucky wit chu
Yes, I feel ya strutter I got so lucky wit chu
So tweaked out and depressed
But now, I see that I was blessed, so blessed
With you girlfriend
I want to prove to you I've advanced in ????
I can't even pick up that ???? throbbing or Robin signal anymore
I can't cope with such an abstract blackmail/male? domination spasm
Although it makes a temporary difference
I'm really not your possession I'm just your friend
There's an invisible suture that keeps me in my seat
Next to you till the end, till the end
I made a wish that I really should have
When it came true, didn't know what to do
But then I need to pay, for our dream ?
I see your progress as a better turn?
Just like everything else??
I spoke of frontal lobe regressions
This is not one of those
I know it girlfriend
I got so lucky with you
I feel ya strutter I got so lucky with you
So ?????? for what you is???
????
I see you girlfriend
I got so lucky with you
Yes, I feel ya strutter I got so lucky with you
So freaked out and depressed
But now, I see how I was blessed, so blessed
With you girlfriend
(I got so lucky with you)

You are such a crazy girl
You're such a crazy girl
And I don't know why
I even try
To make you love me
I want it, babe
But you are just a crazy girl
You are so crazy girl
I don't know why
I even try
To help you (can't help you, can't help you)

When I first met you at that Al-Anon meeting
And you made that reference to "All Your Goodies Are Gone"
And even sang a verse
I was amazed how husky your singing voice was
I wanted to talk to you so badly, but
I didn't know how to come on because
You got that kind of beauty that makes people nervous
I know it's fucked, but before we got together
I even hooked up with one of your cousins
Just to feel somehow closer to you
Because I knew, like, you guys were best friends
And you talked every day
And it was thrilling to touch something that had touched you
In my head, you were like this goddess
But in fact, you're just a

Crazy girl
You're just a crazy girl
I don't know why
I even try
To understand you (can't stand you, can't stand you)
Your ass is crazy girl, yeah
You are so crazy girl
And I don't know why
I even try
To relate to you (can't wait for you, it's too late for you)
Yeah

My god, I should've realized
On our second date
When you dragged me into the bathroom at Tameka's house
And screamed at me for like twenty minutes
Because I had contradicted you in front of your friends
I was like, "Oh!"
And then later that night, at my apartment
As punishment, you killed my betta fish
You just threw it out the window
I did everything I could to make you happy
I participated in all your protests
Supported your stupid little blog
Got a Bowflex
Wore colored contacts to match your dresses
Whatever your eyes caught, I bought
Still we fought
Like Ike and Tina, but in reverse
Because you're so

Crazy girl
You're just a crazy girl
And I don't know why
I even try
To understand you (oh no)
Well, I think you're crazy girl
Yeah, you are so crazy girl
And I don't know why
I even try
To make sense of you (sense of you, sense of you)

Tell me why
Someone tell me why (why)
I should wait for you still (ooh ah, ooh ah)
Think

I was like crazy fan over you
Like I'm all crazy on you
Like I'm getting handcuffed over you

. . .


Coquet, Coquet, you know I won't forget
How you kissed me strange to prove you were mythical
My Coquet, you used my voice as your ugly vehicle
Coquet, Coquet, you know I won't forget
How you hurt me twice to prove you were cynical
My Coquet, you are the death, you are the pinnacle

With you I can only see my black-light constellations
And other shit I don't think I have the language to say
I don't want to catch you with some other guy's face under your eyelids
Something must be wrong, you give me emotional artifacts that can find no purchase

Coquet, Coquet, you know I won't forget
How you sold me out to prove you were typical
My Coquet, you're Herculean, you are so miserable
Coquet, Coquet, you know I won't forget
How you made me cry to prove I was beautiful
My Coquet, my teenage lust for you is so pitiful

With you I can only see my black-light constellations
And other shit I don't think I have the language to say
I don't want to catch you with some other guy's face under your eyelids
Something must be wrong, you give me emotional artifacts that can find no purchase

. . .


Too high, too fast, going to break our necks
Everything about you screamed of godly intersex
Nothing offered per dash, no human tracks
The new forms were germinating, I saw your REO wax
We danced for victory
We danced for Mile's misery
We danced for miscarriages
We danced in Robert's room
You, everybody's stoned about you
You, everybody's thrown about you
I was running from home from school
With the hope trying to keep my parents together
Heir to their chaos, there was such pressure to score high
So I had to drop it as if I stood a chance after my uncle's suicide
Everybody looking at me to succeed him as the family's golden myth
While all my identity mutations were being dozed by books
And all the drugs I took to prove I was brave but I was so afraid
Of the death without pleasure; you are my greatest treasure
Yeah I had an idea of pleasure until you excused me from your archetype
You, everybody's stoned about you
You, everybody's thrown about you

. . .


Aren't you sick of the con
Not quite Homo-Luminous
They're expecting so little
Can't feel the miracle

Of zombies licking your window
For black body radiation

[Janelle Monáe]
Love breaks the machine
Everything is half apart--what can it mean?
How can I trust my fractious heart
Knowing I have the enemy gene?

Love breaks the machine
Everything is half in dream--how can it be?
Everything is born in shame
It's not just me
Particle wave duality
How can we ever evolve
When our gods are so primitive?
They destroy the film

They want to disable my system
Looking for traces of a clean hit
If the end of the world has ever happened
This must be it
I've grown too strong that's what they said
To keep my animal spirit
It empties me
Now I'm vacant

Love breaks the machine
Everything is half apart--what can it mean?
How can I trust my fractious heart
Knowing I have the enemy gene?

Love breaks the machine
Everything is half in dream--how can it be?
Everything's born in shame
It's not just me
Particle wave duality
I know that we'll never survive
This little victory

Love breaks the machine
Everything is half apart--what can it mean?
How can I trust my fractious heart
Knowing I have the enemy gene?

Love breaks the machine
Everything is half in dream--how can it be?
Everything is born in shame
It's not just me
Particle wave duality
How can we ever evolve when our gods are so primitive?
They destroy our hope for peace
Hope for love

How 'bout you my new favorite thing?
I heart you though don't know you very well
I really hope that this summer you will change your pursuit
I throw my guns down for you

How 'bout you my new favorite thing?
Their flashbulbs burn my irises
But still I love to see you upon your pedestal
I just love to see you win

Oh when they torture you
It's like standing on a dragon's tongue
They flashed your pretty nightmare on the sky when I was playing your card
Kissing your deaf son

How 'bout you my new favorite thing?
Will you have me in your orbit evermore?
I know it's work to cope with my dementia and stuff
But I'll throw my guns down for you

How 'bout you my new favorite thing?
Today I planted some flowers in your name
I am trying to build a freak flag empire for three
Cause I just love to see you win

When they experiment I will become your surrogate
I really can't conceive of any balance in my future anyways
The coma is poisoned

You've rattled me, there's uncontrollable sensory reactions on infinite defeat
I've so much to tell you and it can't wait till you're born again

. . .


I saw your movie tonight
I thought you were pretty good
I'm so happy that you're doing what you want to
You go to your favorite dark place, think of the auto-da-fé
Unicorns eating baby meat
There's a dragon rape if you want one (one's the loneliest number)
Smokehood merlion, female erection,
You fetishize the archetype
Ha! you fetishize the archetype

Don't treat me like a tourist, let's stay high on a negative wave
And paint it black just like the good times
Don't treat me like a tourist, let's stay high
They break our hearts like it's our birthdays, soak us in animal blood

I want somebody to frisk me
I want this night to distort me
But I didn't come here just to see you dancing
No, or to admire your art
Or try and cure your Androphobic heart
Anyways I'm crippled inside

Don't treat me like a tourist, let's stay high on a negative wave
And paint it black just like the good times
Don't treat me like a tourist, let's stay 'woke' like Pharaoh
And paint it feral in our heads again
Like when we were passengers

Don't treat me like a tourist, let's stay high
They break our hearts like it's our birthdays, soak us in animal blood

. . .


I believe we're moving on up
Your sex karma must be good
Because I'm funny for you
You, you, you, you, you

Ain't nobody do me better
When you hit me I'm a cloud
Baby I'm a cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud, cloud

I feel my power is flickering
With you it's strange electronic reactions
Yeah

I know that you want to scream
Run and touch my everything
Because I look like a playground to you, playa

Close your eyes and count to three
I'll kiss you where I shouldn't be
Because you look like a playground to me, playa

You are my only luxury item
Anyone try to steal you, I'll fight them
Let's go play some hide and seek
I know you are a little freak
You look like a playground to me, playa
Yeah

I was afraid to call you up
Because you were really hard
To fly on our first try
Try, try, try, try, try

You took me centuries to master
In the next life I will have to learn you faster

Well I'm not a diamond so you'll flatter
Because we're not slaves to physical matter

I know that you want to swing
Run and touch my everything
Because I look like a playground to you, playa

Close your eyes and count to three
I'll kiss you where I shouldn't be
Because you look like a playground to me, playa

You are my only luxury item
Anyone try to steal you, I'll fight them
Let's go play some hide and seek
I know you are a little freak
You look like a playground to me, playa
Yeah

You look like a playground to me
You look like a playground to me
You look like a playground to me
You look like a playground to me, to me
You look like a playground to me
You look like a playground to me

(It's off the wall?)

Close your eyes and count to three
I'll kiss you where I shouldn't be

4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

Who's your reggae woman now, do you even know?
I did a line with a girl named hello (I'm just kidding, yo)

Who's your reggae woman now, do you even know?
I did a line with a girl named hello (I'm just kidding, yo)

Took an overdose, didn't do shit

If I treated someone else the way I treat myself
I'd be in jail

If I treated someone else like the way I treat myself
I'd be in jail

Anyways, boo boo, you're a breakthrough, I love you like being kissed
And thank you for the wonderful birthday

Who's your reggae woman now, do you even know?
I did a line with a girl named hello (I'm just kidding, yo)

If I treated someone else the way I treat myself
I'd be in jail

I don't want you anymore
I don't love you anymore
Go away, go away, go away, go away
You're a bad thing
Terrible thing

You destroy my head
You uncalibrate my skull
Go away, go away
You're a bad thing
Useless thing

You marginalize me
You sabotage me
Go away, go away, go away, go away
You're a bad thing
You horrible thing

You steal my light
You suffocate my life
Go away, go away
You're a bad thing
Miserable thing

Like some childish demon
Who takes pleasure from its sting
You're a bad thing
Bad thing, bad thing

After you'll see that I'll crawl back
You must be sick

Thought she was my Annie Hall
Or at least Ali MacGraw
Now I feel so wilted
It's a famine affair
The whole attempt with shawty
Just put trash in my body

He was nostalgic for the ground
Hope down the drain
Still flew to your tragedy
In a glass-bottom airplane
Looping like a retard
Are you still playing the race card?

She said "You're not boring
I'm just bored with you"
The psychology behind it is ruthless
Wish it weren't true

Wish we weren't so complicated
Wish you weren't so medicated

I don't want you anymore
I don't love you anymore
Go away, go away, go away, go away
You're a bad thing
Terrible thing

You don't let me sleep
And when you do it's just teeth-falling-out nightmares
Go away
You're a bad thing
Useless thing

You marginalize me
You sabotage me
Go away, go away, go away, go away
You're a bad thing
You horrible thing

You've been trying to make me ugly so you'd have a reason to leave
So you could say you were just, like, abandoning the ruins
You bad thing
Miserable thing

Like a childish demon
Who keeps insects on a string
You're a bad thing
Bad thing, bad thing

After you'll see that I'll crawl back
You must be sick

. . .


How could I tolerate looking you in the eyes
How you've evolved, no tears at all
It's not fair, it shouldn't be like this
You shouldn't be so composed
I don't know, should be more awkward
Hate you for bringing this up,
Making me feel what I know just isn't true
You've ruined me, you're a terrorist, I'm a casualty of you

Your sister called today, heard the phone ring, really why should I answer?
She's so critical
I wasn't surprised to hear her single word message
Just said "stop!"

You stole something from me
Can't say what, just know it's gone now
Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong
I'm a casualty of you

. . .


You say you just want to stand there and dim out
Just gonna root there and space
Sulk cause there ain't nobody really doped about your inventory
Absorb celestial articles from neutral stations
From the pain participants
And by far mostly neo-family break strike pattern strike break deface

When you get so quiet and depressed, hate it and I drop away again
Can't understand I want to die again
I'm out here in the swell getting fucked up trying to cure you
It's so draining
Really how can I help if you won't talk to me?
Thought you were around the way
Not just a cliche

[Nina Barnes]
Eg har aldri tenkt meg sanningi
Som ein husfugl,
Men um ho so vore,
Kan du godt strjuka henne med fjøri
Og ikkje jaga henne upp i ei krå
Til ho snur ugleaugo og klør imot deg.
Andre held sanningi for
Ei kald knivsegg,
Ho er både
Yin og yang,
Ormen i graset,
Og fuglekongen som lettar frå ørni
Når hu trur seg høgst.
Eg har òg set

When you get so quiet and depressed, hate it and I drop away again
Can't understand I want to die again
I'm thrashing in the waves getting fucked up trying to cure you
It's so draining
How can I help if you won't talk to me?
I thought you were a lover friend
I'm your friend

. . .


Oh, you do mutilate
We're gonna celebrate our emotional poverty
Giving answers all away
I painted my suitcase red for the reading
Which only ended in conversation break

All I want, genetic telephonic pills
Until the Spanish kids got so ill I was homeschooled with a knife in my shoe

Never seen corpses act so cruel
The self brutality was oh so angular
I made him a devotion in a newspaper column ?
Smile, gimme a shrug, said I was a fuck up
Now I see your face selling Chinese urine

She came over the fence
With an archuman in her head, no empathy
Escape strategy - I understood her
We were trying to share a genuine human moment
Just like the way they do in movies

I'm in a war with this suicidal depression
It's not the star I'm trying to call
I've been standing on this strand far too long y'all (far too long)
Go ahead, go ahead

Whatcha want? Somebody that will slap away your blindness?
Whatcha want? Somebody that will corrupt your heart with too much kindness?
Salute your busta rhymness

She met a black man in Chicago
My superwoman licked it
I don't need a .... on that shit
I need something that works, motherfucker

I wonder were you flattered
I tried to get you drunk
I know you're collecting disciples
I know you want to be the godmother of soul punk
Someday

There are skyscrapers for you, Jane
Never use your given name
I wanna snatch you up for a sequel
Make you feel like godless people
Always knew you were special - your best friend told me he saw you crying
Everybody wants to crescendo, take home a memento

We tried isolate xx infinite pleasure xy
I still .. the family secret
Or a symptom of some wilderness hate
Ceremony custodian for experimental post-human relationships in fact
Tr to isolate xx infinite pleasure xy
Ineffectually
I'm not allowed to show the pain
Not allowed to expose the pain

I still... the family secret
Or a symptom of some wilderness hate
Ceremony custodian or experimental post-human relationships in fact
We tried to isolate xx infinite pleasure xy
Ineffectually
I'm not allowed to show the pain
Not allowed to expose the pain

All the white people from my neighborhood are dead
All the black people have turned pink for the winter
Everybody's searching for a cause, a reason to blow themselves up
Could be anything

When will certain people realize - an afterlife is nothing to live for
Nothing to die for, nothing to fight for
If those in this life are not sacred, then nothing that's a part of it is sacred either

If you think God is more important than your neighbor, you're capable of terrible evil
If you think some prophet's words are more important
Than your brother and your sister
You're ill and you're wrong
You're wrong
