I'm a lazy student
In a circular library with a glass ceiling
And a pocket full of the graduation
I'm gonna go to the Amazon In search of a pigment
That I want on my wall Hold me,
scold me,
extort me,
console me
Through the 90s and the 80s And the Tigris,
the Euphrates
And after all that I've said I want you to know me
I want you to throw me in the river So the clouds that follow my head
Can finally rain down on all your hydrangeas I
never had a doubt that you would come through
I always adored you I always ignored you
Just to make you try harder to do what you do
I had to be awful just to keep from danger
Come stand at my window
With a view of suburbia
As it marks out the edges Of my opulent crowns
I'm rich,
but I'm troubled There's a worm in my boganphilia
Why do you plague me When my ethics are sound?
Hold me,
scold me,
extort me,
console me Through the 90s and the 80s
Through the waters of this sea And after all that I've said
I want you to know me I want you to throw me in the river
So the clouds that follow my head Can
finally rain down on all your hydrangeas
I never had a doubt that you would come through
I always adored you I always ignored you
Just to make you try harder to do what you
do I had to be awful just to keep from danger
And after all that I've said
It's academia
How could I be so faithful to the queen of media?
Through the 90s and the 80s In the AD and the BC
Through the Xanthus and the Yancy And the Niger and the Ganges
Hold me,
fault me, control me,
catch up with me
And release me on the leafy And the echo through my body
And after
all that I've said I want you to know me
I want you to throw me in the river So the clouds that follow my head
Can finally rain down on all your hydrangeas I
never had a doubt that you would come through
I always adored you I always ignored you
Just to make you try harder to do what you do
I had to be awful just to keep from danger
