Aimee Mann · The Forgotten Arm [2005]

Tell me why I feel so bad, honey

T.V.'s flat and nothing is funny

I get sad I'm stuck in a cone of silence

Like a big balloon with nothing for ballast

Labeled like a bottle for Alice

Drink me or I'll drown in a sea of giants



And tell me, "Baby, baby I love you

It's non-stop memories of you

It's like a video of you playing

It's all loops of seven hour kisses

Cut with a couple near misses

Back to the scene of the actor saying:

'Tell me baby, baby, why do I feel so bad?'"



Tell me why I feel so bad, honey

Fighting left me plenty of money

But didn't keep the promise of memory lapses

Like a building that's been slated for blasting

I'm the proof that nothing is lasting

Counting to eleven as it collapses



And tell me, "Baby, baby, I love you

It's non-stop memories of you

It's like a video of you playing

It's all loops of seven hour kisses

Cut with a couple near misses

Back to the scene of the actor saying:

'Tell me baby, baby why do I feel so bad?'"



Baby, baby I love you

Baby, baby I love you

But, baby, I feel so bad
