Gardenia |
| I kinda like the way you dot your J’s |
| With giant circles of naïveté |
| The kinda circles include everything |
| Don’t mean to damn you with the faintest praise |
| It’s just the symptom of the blah age |
| If he was living |
| He would be amazed |
| So you got some curb appeal |
| But can you cook a three course meal? |
| Or are you just a present waiting to be opened up |
| And parceled out again |
| Well you are a gardenia |
| Pressed in the campaign journal in the rucksack |
| Of an afrikaaner candidate for mild reform |
| It’s like we’re at a Ponzi scam-inar |
| There’s no escaping without a door prize |
| They’re operating at significant loss |
| And now the way that you watch your weight |
| Richard Avedon, Richard Avedon would |
| Richard Avedon would surely approve |
| So much for your curb appeal |
| And so much for the 3 course meals |
| 'Cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up |
| And parceled out again, hey! |
| Well the torture of the van wyck expressway at 5pm |
| On Friday |
| Gives you some idea of how |
| Rejection makes me feel |
| Well you are a gardenia |
| You are a gardenia |
