I am braiding records into my hair

Needles and record players

Everything's a

Possible record cover

Or a possible name for a band that I will never have

I will never have

'Cause I sing my songs all by myself

All to myself

From myself

I am cute

But I'm not in a band

Where's my band?

Where's my band?

Where's my amplifiers?

So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen

Surrounded by forks and a linoleum floor

I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me

From being so tired and sleeping with my mascara on

In the studio

They're adjusting the wires and microphones

And I'm about to sing my songs

And they won't be just my own

And I'm glad that they'll exist

But they'll make me obsolete

'Cause I sing it just once, and the wires, they remember it

And sing it right back

And they do it better than I can

Anytime, anywhere, I'm preserved

I'm a jelly or a jam

Jelly or a jam

So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen

A halo of forks and a linoleum floor

I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me

From being so tired and being so drunk

Why don't I just pee in the middle of this kitchen

Into a little teacup and I won't miss a drop

I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me

From being so eccentric and being so lonely

Corazón

Corazón

This is my

Corazón

I know that I am lucky

I make shit up all the time

And I start to believe it myself

Just 'cause it rhymes

But I'm so inconsistent

My handwriting changes every other word

So I'm braiding records into my hair

Needles and record players

Everything's a

Possible record cover

Or a possible name for a band that I will never have

I will never have

Never have

Never have

Never have

So why don't I just sleep in the middle of this kitchen

A halo of forks and a linoleum floor

I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me

From being so drunk and being so drunk

Why don't I just pee in the middle of this kitchen

Into a little teacup and I won't miss a drop

I am drunk and there's no one here to stop me

From being so eccentric and being so lonely (more)
