lyrics

VERSE:
Ann used to eat at Al’s Breakfast
On my Tuesday shift
We talked about Surly beer
And punk music

Light rays shoot out of her
Like needles from a porcupine
In need of sunglasses
When this solar eclipse walks by

PRE-CHORUS:
Her red turtleneck smelled like lilies of the valley
Her eyes match the stone color of Navajo turquoise teardrop silver stud earrings

CHORUS:
You already have a long-term partner
Have you thought about polygamy?
I want to be your long-term partner
We could start a law firm together

Why is it so taboo that I like you?
We are all animals at heart
You like to wear those pea green jeans
I fell in love with your smoker’s teeth

VERSE:
Her boyfriend swung by one day
With that same old clip on tie
He told me to stay away
And that they’re moving to L.A.

PRE-CHORUS:
Ann later secretly came in with a farewell-themed Hallmark card
I made her heart-shaped pancakes and crooned in baritone the Ramone’s “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend”

CHORUS:
You already have a long-term partner
Have you thought about polygamy?
I want to be your long-term partner
We could start a law firm together

Why sail away with your boyfriend?
His sales job is not that impressive
Stay here with me and teach me tai chi
I’m gonna miss your pigeon laughter
