Calvin Johnson - Palriga lyrics

Pearly blended nasty and nice When you clothes shopped that night I gave in without a fight I already had too many that week Unprepared to do battle on so little sleep I don't care about your other little boys or girls Snail trail across this town that's your choice and you will Don't believe you want this to end Some things seem so natural by your side Like exploring haunted houses and laying out at night Staring at the branches and the backlit sky That moment was complete Nothing unfilled about it Other times, blank slate Slate vain with promise, anticipation Confusion and desire Desire and confusion Since before the beginning Always start when I hear your name Gurrr means let's purrrr It was an awful lot of fun and you seem to concur Tracing a summer diary Full of similar scratches Only deeper, is a proper way to say Goodbye Girl playing pear-shaped a ruthless carpet beggar I'll hope for the former and pray for the latter Amanda kiss and hug would bore you to d**h So please take back all those kind things you said Hopeless romantic means naked ambition And sparks fly frantic and naked stays hidden Such a cold dismissal Like letting out the cat, blowing on a thistle You did me a favor by cutting me off I did myself the embarra**ment of showing how soft I could be A total cave-in A total cave-in Your curiosity Finally Stared me down Watching you dissect the other side Is an endless source of amusement And pride You carved your initials on their learning tree And bored a hole through the arrogant heart of their breed So many layers covering up what's deep inside Doesn't keep it hidden from my sight You're afraid I'll see there's nothing there But there is There is When you conquer that fear It's gonna be tremendous So, flowers for a self-made superstar Don't wait, go and buy yourself a really good cigar You already have something better than fame An inner-strength that's growing everyday Growing everyday Thanks for the bread Salt and kindness If I hit another dead nerve I'll call your highness When you read this letter aloud Be careful to emphasize the rusty tune horn half Beg bittersweet taste of my crown When it's been tossed around When it's been used as a testing ground A girl, a plan, a can*l Palriga A girl, a plan, a can*l Palriga A girl, a plan, a can*l Palriga Palriga tramples through the loneliest of towns The isolation is tremendous You be the girl And you always will
