Will Wood and the Tapeworms - Love Me Normally (2016 Live Demo) lyrics

In lipstick on the mirror are
The lyrics to my obituary
In iambic pentameter, follow parameter
Crossing my Is, dot my Ts

I was delivered holding scissors
I live deliberately, I'm a quitter
And a winner, anyway
'cause I never agreed to
Participate in this game
Won't follow my dreams 'cause they all
Got me waking up screaming
I can let them go free
After all, there's no I in team
And I'd rather be normal, yeah, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Well, I bet that's the least that I owe you
To be normal in a way I couldn't be, yeah
Come on, come on and love me normally

If I could live in third person
Well, I don't think life would be
Much worse than it is
In the current tense, presently
Listen consenting
With question marks or dot dot dot

Is it courageous or escapist to leave
The quarantine when you're contagious?
It may just be a cold
And besides, I don't want to get old, yeah
I drank myself to death to be
The afterlife of the party
When the after party came
I was rolling in my grave!

And I'd rather be normal, yeah, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Well, I bet that's the least that I owe you
To be normal in a way I couldn't be, yeah
Come on, come on and love me normally
Come on, come on and love me normally

This is about the time in the show where I
Talk to me audience and I like to tell
Them: I want you to look in the eyes of
That beautiful woman or man or neither or
In between that you brought with you tonight
And I want you to tell
Them how you really feel
That you love the way they so gracefully and
Seamlessly, like a dream, blend
Into their surroundings
Never sticking out like
The sore thumb they so certainly
Could be if they didn't
Have the - what's the word I'm looking for?
Compassion? Decency? Common sense?
Common sense! To follow all the
Rules and regulations set by the society and
The culture they were born into, and
Know that they belong somewhere
As we all do - we belong
Right in that spot that was cut out for us
At the beginning of our lives we really
Really do - and look into their eyes
And tell them: I love you i
Love you for - for who everybody else
Is that's a joke from me

I was nothing before
So I couldn't have asked to be born
I'll be nothing again
So what am I between now and then?
Is there nothing to fear?
'Cause this shit's getting weird
So to god, who made this man:
You better have one hell of a plan, oh

'Cause I'd rather be normal, yeah, so normal
I suggest that we keep this informal
'Cause a normal human being wouldn't need, no
To pretend to be normal, to be normal
Well, I bet that's the least that I owe you
To be normal in a way I couldn't be, yeah
So come on, come on, yeah, I said come on
Yeah
Come on, come on, yeah, I said come on, yeah
Come on, come on and love
Me normally, woah, yeah, whoa yeah
Come on, come on and love me normally
Woah, yeah
