lyrics

Bit into half of a chocolate CD
Never tasted quite as sweet as ice cream
A sweet tooth that could only be pulled in summer's chair
There's no such thing as forever
Twenty-one was boring, twenty-two was better
Didn't even know till today this was there.

I'm so self-contained like a quicktime
Feet out in front, arms limply to the side.
I always liked getting hurt
Being face-down in the dirt
I must miss being a baby
I'll tell you a story
Till I lose you to video games.

Have you tried to see through the city?
The ghosts and the glory days peer through the past
Sense them wandering aimlessly
Warning us that nothing lasts.
No matter how much I think you'll like something that I like
There's always the off-chance that you'll hate it to death

And if I think you think I know what you're thinking
It's usually true you're worried about you
Drown your sorrows in the drinking
It's a common thing to do
Who do I think I'm portraying?
Who am I to advise you?
Advertising places you don't want to go
Telling you things that you might already know

I said maybe I'd rather marry a city
Than a boy who doesn't know what to be

I'm so self-contained like a quicktime
Feet out in front, arms limply to the side
Why don't you listen to me?
I haven't talked to anybody
I think it's time to go crazy
I haven't talked to anybody
Since I lost you to video games.

125th St and its vertical signs
Bizarro 34th St clapping in time.
125th St and its vertical songs
Bizarro 34th St humming along.

I lost you to video games.

Construction of a Champ

Nan's a genius and I moved back to NY after college mostly for this reason. I had the pleasure of playing drums in her One Nite Stands band for many shows. Thanks Nan for being a huge inspiration. Yoko O.K.
