lyrics

You've got it,
The smooth cold surface I've been seeking
Glossy Exterior
You're tall, with a good jacket
And a hat that doesn't match it
Your hair thrown back and forth, back and forth, back and forth

Yeah, hang out with me
If you're not busy
I never got to do it right
I was too broken when we tried
I was too broken when we tried
I never got to do it right
I never got to do it right
I was all broken when we tried

Do you ever think of me
When the right girl turns around
When she dances like a frantic
When she dances like a clown
Do you ever think of me?
Maniacal Mechanic
When the chicken pulls your leg
Only asking for its egg
Without making any noises
On the dance floor, in your bed
Do you think of me instead
Do you think that I enjoy this?

It's shocking, the way you snub all my attentions
Before I can even unfold
And you know that I've got it,
A mad crush on your written word
I know all of your secret codes
As anyone in love with the already known must know,
You're just a stupid machine
And I am somewhat obscene
You're just an adding machine
And I'm a somewhat obscene teen mean thing drama dream queen

Do you ever think of me
When the right girl turns around
When she dances like a frantic
When she dances like a clown
Do you ever think of me?
Maniacal Mechanic
When the chicken pulls your leg
Only asking for its egg
Without making any sound
When you spin her body round
On the dance floor, in your bed
Do you think of me instead
Do you think that I enjoy this?
