lyrics

You've got to get yourself together
You better buy yourself a car
There ought to be no one who knows how to evade me
There ought to be some part of you in my coffee

You've got to get up in the morning
You better get yourself to bed
I really don't mind you, I really don't want to
I really have much better things in my head

And so long the scrubber, I may not have needed you anyway
I won't go kindly, I may not even go at all
I need you like I need my body to escape me
Or my body to escape me
Or my body to escape me

Now I'm a sucker for delivery
Though I couldn't color you any brighter
I am taking my time here and I'm making you mine here
I'm driving all over the place again

But if you are going to the center then you're going to cripple me
But it's fine I've resigned I will never walk again
And if you come in more, you don't know what you're in for
But neither do either of the people that I've seen

And so long the swimmer, I may not have needed you anyway
I won't go kindly, I may not even go at all
I need you like I need my money to control me
Or my money to control me
Or my money to control me

And so I'm bringing you down

And so long the spinner, I may not have needed you anyway
I won't go kindly, I may not even go at all
I need you like I need my body
I need you like I need my body
I need you like I need my
Need you like I need my
Need you like I need my body
