Regina Spektor - Riot Gear lyrics

Wake up put on my riot gear
But in the study of my house
I've got a smoking jacket passed
To me from Grand Daddy
It's made of bow and arrow meat

Do do do do do do do do do do do do

Come home take off my riot gear
Put on my smoke jacket
But in the library of my house I have a laugh
Medieval jokes are just as funny now
If you've got a degree

Heaven help the ones who know
What makes the world go slow

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

The night comes time to go on the town
And in my best sashimi dress
And marble arch supporting shoes
I am a vision in my horse-drawn tank

Da da da da da da da da da da da da

Stay out drinking into the night
And they are saying those same things
And I'm like "Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee"
Until half past three
And then it's time for me to go

Heaven help the ones who know
What makes the world go slow
What makes the world go slow

Come home take off my tuna dress
Put on my collard greens and in my sleep
What dreams may come
Before I'm woken by alarms
Put on my riot gear
