i can't love no more
all my reserves are
out the door
help me find some way
out of this
wholly enbrambled
nightmare
hit the floor
find me in darkness
keeping score
wondering if i'll
ever know
the feeling of
infatuation
pick me out a spare heart
in time, in time
i won't love again
affection for me
has hawed and hemmed
and now i'm a shell
of roses stems
wilting in waning sunlight
phone a friend
tell them this fugue's
an ill portend
grasping at straws
til i'm content
but each one's a little longer
chorus

erika, miss amerika

she wore braces, but she tore them off
in a fit of rage, don't you dare scoff at that
her mind races as if held aloft
by a strong propeller or a high-strung cat
we call her erika, but she calls herself queen
and if you mess with her, she will rip out your spleen!
oh erika! oh erika!
you're miss amerika too
she's from massachussets where the pilgrims fell
and if you forget that, then there'll be hell to pay
she's about to lose it like a mortar shell
dropped on the firing pin and sent far away
prechorus
oh erika! oh erika!
you're miss amerika, oh erika
we can't contain ya so we'll just let you go
what did you think about the election?
i'd rather give myself a vivisection
what do you think about edward gorey?
i think i'd like to play out some of his stories
how do you deal with constant attention?
i like to counter it with strong condescension
what do you do on friday night?
i party party party and i fight fight fight!
prechorus
chorus
