"Oh what a noble distiguished collection of fine little friends you have made
Hitting the tables without you again
No, we'll wait, no, we promise we'll wait
And June makes these excellent sewing machines out of common industrial waste
She spends a few months at a time on the couch
But she's safe, she wears shades

But no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll
And you're racist for playing along
You're only human after all
And you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends doesnt mean they'll call
They made the comment in jest
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point of it all

Maybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you how nice life can be
We propped you right up in a chair on the deck with a beautiful view of the sea
But a couple days later we came back and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
You had magically moved to the closet, eyes fixed on the spot where the dryer had been

But no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
And you're racist for playing along
You're almost human after all
Why on earth would I keep you locked up in here when you so love the fall?
Well, the pattern's laid out on the bed
With hundreds of colors of thread
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point in the end

It's better to waste your life watching the scenery change at a comatose rate
Than to put yourself in and turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hate
And while you were sleeping some men came around and said they had some dementions to take
I'm not sure what they were talking about, but they sure a mess of your face

And still no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll
And you're aces for coming along
You're almost human, even now
And just cause they call themself experts
Doesn't mean sweet fuck all
They've got the permanent press and the homes with a stable address
And they've got excitement
And life by the fistful
But you've got the meaning
I guess that's the point of it all"

Likely one of my last deviations here at DA. I'll be moving future art to a personal website sometime in the future, I hope. I'll keep you all posted.
