Sing a little off-key Sing a little like me You can pray for a siren to tempt you to sea To come and set you free Two fat lawyers leering down from a forgotten billboard The Uhaul is closed and shuttered up tight As a radio plays a sad song dedicated to no one Can you feel the love in this room here tonight? Olivier says to say hello, says a big hello He asked where you're living, and if you're doing alright As he sucked on a toothpick, peppermint oiled Plastic beads clickety-clacking on the spokes of his bike Sing a little off-key Sing a little like me You can pray for a siren to tempt you to sea To come and set you free Deena in an all-night laudromat on the east side of town It's midnight in Georgia, there's no one around Except a little girl with pink ribbons strewn through her hair She's fading in the neon light like she just wasn't there Later on as the summer moon slid by overhead That ghost of a girl vanished into thin air As Deena settled her head down on that spinning machine And had an All-Tempra-Cheer with Clorox kind of dream And it went "la la la la..." So sing a little off-key Sing a bit like me You can pray for a siren to tempt you to the rocks Cause in the end everyone needs to get off |
