On Air: The Point Of All - Amanda Palmer
Oh what a noble distiguished collection of fine little friends you have made
Hitting the tables without you again no we'll wait no we promise we'll wait
June makes these excellent sewing machines out of common industrial waste
She spends a few months at a time on the couch
But she's safe she wears shades she wears shades
Oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
And you're racist for coming along
You're almost human after all
And you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends
Doesn't mean they'll call
They made the comment and just
But youve got the needle I guess that's the point of it all
Maybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you how nice life can be
We propped you right up in a chair on the deck with a beautiful view of the sea
But a couple weeks later we came back and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
You had magically moved to the closet eyes fixed on the place where the dryer had been
Oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
And you're racist for coming along
You're almost human after all
Why on earth would I keep you locked up in here when you so love the fall
Well the patterns laid out on the bed
With dozens of colors of thread
But youve got the needle I guess that's the point in the end
But is better to waste your day
Watching the scenery change at a comatose rate
And to put yourself in and turn into
One of those cigarette ads that you hate
And while you were sleeping some men came around
And said that they had some dementions to take
I'm not sure what they were talking about
But they sure made a mess of your faith
But still no one can stare at the wall
As good as you my baby doll
And you're racist for playing along
You're almost human even now
And just cause they call themself experts
Doesn't mean that they'll call
Oh they've got the permanent price and the homes with a stable address
And they've got excitement and life by the fistful but you've got the meaning
I guess that's the point of it all
