KID CONGO AND THE PINK MONKEY BIRDS
EVEN THOUGH YOUR LEATHER IS CLICHÉ (Powers, Martin, O'Brien, Belknap, Velez)

YOUR RENT CONTROLLED APARTMENT
OFF TOMPKINS SQUARE
BLACK LIGHTS, LONG HALL
I FALL FOR PHILOSOPHY AND UNDERWEAR

AND EVEN THOUGH YOUR LEATHER IS CLICHÉ
I LIKE WHAT IT HAS TO SAY ANYWAY

WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?
AND WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?
THAT’S FOR EYE FOR EYE FOR EYE TO SEE
YOU THINK I’M STUPID
WELL I THINK YOU’RE DUMB

AND EVEN THOUGH YOUR LEATHER IS CLICHÉ
I LIKE WHAT IT HAS TO SAY ANYWAY

LOOKING OUT YOUR WINDOW
LIFE’S NOTHING BUT GLASS
I HEAR THE PHONES, I HEAR THE BONES, I HEAR THE NEIGHBORS TALKING OUT THE TRASH

AND EVEN THOUGH YOUR LEATHER IS CLICHÉ
I LIKE WHAT IT HAS TO SAY ANYWAY

YOUR RENT CONTROLLED APARTMENT
OFF TOMPKINS SQUARE
BLACK LIGHTS, LONG HALL
I FALL FOR PHILOSOPHY AND UNDERWEAR

AND EVEN THOUGH YOUR LEATHER IS CLICHÉ

 

Next ("The Weather The War")
