Pixie |
i’m a pixie |
i’m a paper doll |
i’m a cartoon |
i’m a chipper cheerful free for all |
and i light up a room |
i’m the color me happy girl |
miss live and let live |
and when they’re out for blood |
i always give |
the man behind the counter looks like he’s got |
a hald a dozen places he’d rather be and furthermore it looks like he’s prepared |
to take it all out on me buddy, i don’t really care what your problem is just don’t make it mine |
come on kids, let’s all hold hands |
and pretend we’re having a good time |
maybe you don’t like your job |
maybe you didn’t get enough sleep |
well, nobody likes their job |
nobody got enough sleep |
maybe you just had |
the worst day of your life |
but, you know, there’s no escape |
and there’s no excuse |
so just suck up and be nice |
all the privilaged white kids on tv playing at death |
banishing their cold cuts |
with their ghostly makeup |
and their heroin breath |
and all the little fishes are flapping wildly |
on their hooks |
while all the top critics find great meaning |
in the telephone book |
the little emperor he has no clothes |
so he can’t come out to play |
and besides which life is suffering |
and he likes it that way |
and the little guy is not so friendly |
but you know life has been cruel |
so wipe that smile off your face, baby |
and try to be cool |
maybe you don’t like your job |
maybe you didn’t get enough sleep |
well, nobody likes their job |
and nobody got enough sleep |
maybe you just had |
the worst day of your life |
but, you know, there’s no escape |
there’s no excuse |
so just suck up and be nice |
yeah, i would like to perfect the art |
of being studiously aloof |
like life is just a boring chore |
and i am living proof |
i could join forces with an army |
or ornery hipsters |
but then i guess i’d be out of a job |
so i guess that’s out of the picture |
cuz i am a pixie |
i am a paper doll |
i’m a cartoon |
i’m a chipper cheerful free for all |
and i light up a room |
i’m the color me happy girl |
miss live and let live |
and when they’re out for blood |
i always give |
