Little Plastic Castle

Lyrics

In a coffee shop in a city
 Which is every coffee shop in every city
 On a day which is every day
 I picked up a magazine
 Which is every magazine
 Read a story, and then forgot it right away
 They say goldfish have no memory
 I guess their lives are much like mine
 And the little plastic castle
 Is a surprise every time
 And it's hard to say if they're happy
 But they don't seem much to mind
 ♪
 From the shape of your shaved head
 I recognized your silhoutte
 As you walked out of the sun and sat down
 And the sight of your sleepy smile
 Eclipsed all the other people
 As they paused to sneer at the two girls
 From out of town
 I said, look at you this morning
 You are, by far, the cutest
 But be careful getting coffee
 I think these people want to shoot us
 Or maybe there's some kind of local competition here
 To see who can be the rudest
 ♪
 People talk
 About my image
 Like I come in two dimensions
 Like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind
 Like what I happen to be wearing
 The day that someone takes a picture
 Is my new statement for all of womankind
 I wish they could see us now
 In leather bras and rubber shorts
 Like some ridiculous team uniform
 For some ridculous new sport
 Quick someone call the girl police
 And file a report
 ♪
 In a coffe shop in a city
 Which is every coffee shop in every city
 On a day which is every day
