about

A song that lyrically is told from the perspective of an intellectual introvert trying to appeal to and bond with someone else who is similarly counter cultured in personality and opinion

lyrics

Man these shindigs in these prim digs are always a drag
All the cool kids and the cruel kids dress in drag
You and I so much alike both so out of place
All the boys are wearing their cufflinks for fucks sake
If there’s anything I know know it’s how how to get your weeds out of a tumble
If there’s anything I know know it’s how cut the cake and get to the good stuff

So why don’t you come over here baby
Won’t you take center stage
Take all the time you need
To act up half your age
No reason to be shy
Turn up and act a fool
Ain’t nobody know better
How you’re supposed to do you

Ok so you showed up to this party but you don’t want anybody to know
With skin like Minnie Driver and a set of confident bones
Well you’ll never put that puzzle together unless you spread it around
Nothing magical ever happened while we were lookin down
Yeah but if there’s anything I know know it’s how how to not give a damn man
I don’t give a damn
If there’s anything I know know it’s how how to make good use of my pearly whites

So why don’t you come over here baby
Won’t you take center stage
Take all the time you need
To act up half your age
No reason to be shy
Turn up and act a fool
Ain’t nobody know better
How you’re supposed to do you

So I says to her I says, baby
Midnight is approaching and I don’t have anybody here to dance with me
So why don’t you trade that dress in for a sweater cos it looks like it’s withholding your motion
I’ll be waiting right here out in the open
Then I said to her, Soma
All we’ll do is get a bit older
So come down and sit on my sofa we can keep it light

So why don’t you come over here baby
Won’t you take center stage
Take all the time you need
To act up half your age
No reason to be shy
Turn up and act a fool
Ain’t nobody know better
How you’re supposed to do you
