Gardenia

Lyrics

I kinda like the way you dot your J's
 with giant circles of naivety
 the kind of circles include everything
 don't mean to damn you with the faintest praise
 it's just a symptom of the blithe age
 If Walt were living he would be amazed
 so you got some curb appeal
 but can you cook a 3 course meal
 or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again hey
 
 well you are a gardenia
 pressed in the campaign journal
 in the rucksack of an Afrikaner candidate for mild reform
 it's like we're at a ponzi scaminar
 ♪
 there's no escaping without a door prize
 they're operating at significant loss
 and now the way you watch your weight
 Richard Avedon
 Richard Avedon would
 Richard Avedon would surely approve
 so much for your curb appeal
 and so much for the 3 course meals
 cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again
 
 well the torture of the
 Van Wyck express way at 5 pm on Friday gives you some idea of how rejection makes me feel
 well you are a gardenia
 
 well you are a gardenia
