Australia |
| I can do the dishes while talking on the phone |
| I could ask you for an answer but you want to be alone |
| I can never do the dishes a single dish at a time |
| It’s too much of a commitment so I line them up and fire |
| I could calamine your insides |
| I could wind them all around me |
| I could tiptoe on a tightrope made of fear and looking down see |
| All the people do they see me |
| I could wave or I could carry all the dishes that they gave me |
| That are keeping me steady |
| Or I could go to Australia |
| Carry a bowie knife |
| And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side |
| And learn card tricks |
| And buy everyone drinks |
| And take boxing |
| And write songs about my bowie knife |
| I could do these dishes |
| I could try to do these dishes |
| I could try |
| I could bake a cake |
| My kitchen is small but I could clear the space |
| I could write my name |
| Because practice makes perfect yes that’s what they say |
| I could make a button out of plaster |
| That said 'Finished' I could hang it in my closet |
| To the left side of the light switch |
| I could walk down to Columbus and try drinking to forget it |
| And then come home less afraid and then press it and press it |
| Or I could go to Australia |
| Carry a bowie knife |
| And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side |
| And learn card tricks |
| And buy everyone drinks |
| And take boxing |
| And try eating things only with chopsticks |
| And write songs about my bowie knife |
| I could do these dishes |
| I could try to do these dishes |
| I could decide to do these dishes |
| I could decide |
| Or I could go to Australia |
| Carry a bowie knife |
| And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side |
| And learn card tricks and physics |
| And buy everyone drinks |
| And take boxing |
| And try eating things only with chopsticks |
| And finally be like a person I think you might like |
| I could do these dishes |
| I could try to do these dishes |
| I could decide to do these dishes |
| I could decide to do these dishes |
| Time to DECIDE… |
| Fuck it |
| I’m gonna go to Australia |
| I’m gonna go to Australia |
| I’m gonna go to Australia |
| I’m gonna go to Australia (She's gonna go to Australia) |
| Bye-bye |
