I Cut Off My Hair

You were there in my dreams
Nursing on my glass teat
It was a party, you were sucking liquor
On your jacket a VIP sticker
It was a party, you were sucking liquor
On your jacket a VIP sticker
I peed in my pants and ran down the street
Towards Washington Square Park
Where you had been beat up
You were wearing rags
I was wearing pointe shoes
I tried to lay next to you, but you hit the snooze
The definition of a crazy person is
Someone that does the same thing over, and over again
While expecting new results
I cut off my tongue
You started to kiss me
Blood trickled down
Don't you ever miss me
Don't you ever miss meat
Don't you ever minced meat
Don't you ever mincth meat

Na nanana na na na na

Called up my mama but I couldn't be sweet
So I escaped through the window
On a rope made of sheets
Got bitten by a squirrel and stepped on a syringe
The view of Manhattan from GW bridge
You said, "Honey"
I said, "Baby"
You said, "Funny"
I said, "Maybe"
You says, "Hi honey"
I says, "Hey baby"
You asked, "Was it funny?"
And I said, "Well maybe
Maybe, maybe, maybe"
Na na na na na na

Na nanana na na na na

I cut off my hair and went to sleep
You were there in my dreams
Nursing on my glass teat
I cut off my hair and went to sleep
You were there in my dreams
Nursing on a glass teat
The definition of a crazy person is
It was a party, you were sucking liquor
On your jacket a VIP sticker
It was a party, you were sucking liquor
On your jacket a VIP uh
On your jacket a VIP uh
On your jacket a VIP uh
On your jacket a VIP
