Amanda Palmer - Australia lyrics
[Amanda Palmer - Australia lyrics]
I can do the dishes while
Talking on the phone
I could ask you for an answer
But you want to be alone
I can never do the dishes a
Single dish at a time
It's too much of a commitment so
I line them up and fire
I could calamine your insides
I could wind them all around me
I could tiptoe on a tightrope made
Of fear and looking down see
All the people do they see me
I could wave or I could carry all
The dishes that they gave me
That are keeping me steady
Or I could go to Australia
Carry a bowie knife
And wear my hair like Hepburn
Parted on the side and learn card tricks
And buy everyone drinks and take boxing
And write songs about my bowie knife
I could do these dishes
I could try to do these dishes i could try
I could bake a cake
My kitchen is small but I
Could clear the space i could write my name
Because practice makes perfect yes
That's what they say
I could make a button out of plaster
That said 'Finished' I could hang
It in my closet
To the left side of the light switch
I could walk down to Columbus and
Try drinking to forget it
And then come home less afraid and
Then press it and press it
Or I could go to Australia
Carry a bowie knife
And wear my hair like Hepburn
Parted on the side and learn card tricks
And buy everyone drinks and take boxing
And try eating things only with chopsticks
And write songs about my bowie knife
I could do these dishes
I could try to do these dishes
I could decide to do these dishes
I could decide
Or I could go to Australia
Carry a bowie knife
And wear my hair like Hepburn
Parted on the side
And learn card tricks and physics
And buy everyone drinks and take boxing
And try eating things only with chopsticks
And finally be like a person
I think you might like
I could do these dishes
I could try to do these dishes
I could decide to do these dishes
I could decide to do these dishes
Time to DECIDE
Fuck it i'm gonna go to Australia
I'm gonna go to Australia
I'm gonna go to Australia
I'm gonna go to Australia
(She's gonna go to Australia) bye bye
