Amanda Palmer - Olly Olly Oxen Free lyrics

So You wanted That's what you get for wanting You got it That's what you get for getting Forgotten You're gardening a rotting bed Of raygun-era icons So Let's start it Let's start it From the minute you felt it You felt it like a prison A panic, you felt it Like that coffee scene From Moscow on the Hudson So ...Be honest It's not as if you're happy about it It's not as if you're animatronic It's not as if you couldn't Cry out any time you wanted Olly olly oxen free All the people you will never be Olly olly oxen free Olly olly olly olly Olly olly olly olly Fate You call it You color it The color you want it You carpet it That's awful convenient You paint yourself a nice white room With stripes and matching curtains So You forfeit You cannot build a river across it You cannot hold your own heart hostage You do not have the strength To gag yourself in every closet The wrong place, wrong mind Timing's always bad You're such a sad case Misplaced renaissance Inventor of a worldwide Heartbreak, taking it in stride 'Cause you're an expert Aren't you? Aren't you just a dime a dozen? Murderous monosyllabic moron With no sense of purpose Working on your songs all night To justify your worthlessness To anyone who's watching If they only saw your alter egos Pretty in the shop windows Where you got auctioned hours ago Olly olly oxen free All the people you will never be Olly olly oxen free olly olly olly olly Higher than the king can See no evil, hear no evil Capture me and throw the key See no evil, hear no evil Capture me and throw the key away Throw the key away So It's over You're lying in a coffin of clutter Your father and your sister, your drummer Are sorting through your Soft Cell tapes And lifesaver collection, and you wonder You wonder if you could've done better You wonder if you should've surrendered Before you learned that Nobody actually wants a f**ing martyr Didn't you, didn't you, didn't Didn't you see? Didn't you, didn't you, didn't Didn't you see? Didn't you, didn't you, didn't Didn't you see me? Didn't you, didn't you, didn't Didn't you see me? Olly olly oxen free All the people you will never be Olly olly oxen free olly olly olly olly Higher than the king can See no evil, hear no evil Capture me and throw the key See no evil, hear no evil Capture me and throw the key away Throw the key away Throw the key away
