Turtleneck

Lyrics

Oh my Mother, let your daughter dance with me
 I'd like to spin her wild around the cottonwood tree
 There's something about her eyes, I think her roots are rotten
 This must be the reason she wears her hair up in knots, oh no
 This is so embarrassing
 Ah, we're pissing fits
 Crying on our doorsteps in t-shirts loose and ripped
 Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
 They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them
 Keep the weed next to the bed
 Light the water, check for lead
 Dim the lights a little lower
 Hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders
 Give the gift that fits your head
 You have to get this turtleneck
 ♪
 The poor, they leave their cellphones in the bathrooms of the rich
 And when they try to turn them off everything they switch to
 Is just another man, in shitty suits, everybody's cheering for
 This must be the genius we've been waiting years for, oh no
 This is so embarrassing
 Ah, we're pissing fits
 Crying on our doorsteps in t-shirts loose and ripped
 Some of them so out of style I cannot save them
 They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them
 Keep the weed next to the bed
 Light the water, check for lead
 Dim the lights a little lower
 Hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders
 Give the gift that fits your head
 You have to get this turtleneck
 ♪
 Keep the weed next to the bed
 Light the water, check for lead
 Dim the lights a little lower
 Hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders
 Give the gift that fits your head
 You have to get this turtleneck
