Lyrics My Dead Girl - Speedy Ortiz

My Dead Girl

Better yet, better get jealous of what didn’t get your name
Better you fake the truth
I tried to buy an aluminum toy from the booth outside the dojo
With a ten buck coin from your old drawer
Don’t even know what you’ve been up to
Since the time you said I never saw the real you
Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie
I got you, but if you ever saw me
I go riding in cars but I’m not the driver
Riding in cars, now I’m the bad girl you wanted
Pull the shades.
Make the call.
Get the feds crawling through the lawn
I got smoke in my iris
Backwater acid bath for riddle-rousing cowards
Better me than you’ve ever seen
Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie
If these are my last words, guess you found me
I go riding in cars but I’m not the driver
Riding in cars, now I’m the dead girl you wanted
Don’t even know what you’ve been up to
And the me that you knew, that was some other me
Brain like a sphinx but got nails like a prom queen
Stay on the bleachers, from there you can watch me
Go riding in cars, but I’m not the driver
Riding in cars, more like the dead girl you wanted
Riding in cars and you’re not the driver
Forever and overly gone
