Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was part of the air force
I was part of the band
I always used to bust into her hand
In my, my, my imagination
I was living my best life
Living with my parents
Way before the paying penance and verbal propellants
And my, my, my cancellations
[Verse 2]
And I fell in love with a boy
It was kinda lame
I was Rimbaud and he was Paul Verlaine
In my, my, my imagination
So many cringes in the heroin binges
I was coming off the hinges
Living on the fringes of my, my, my imagination
[PreChorus]
Enough about me now
You gotta talk about the people, baby
[Chorus]
At home, somewhere I don't like
Eating stuff off of motorbikes
Coming to her lookalikes
I can't get the language right
Just tell me what's unladylike
[Verse 3]
I know some "Vaccinista tote-bag-chic baristas"
Sitting east on their communista keisters
Writing about their ejaculations
I like my men like I like my coffee
Full of soy milk and so sweet, it won't offend anybody whilst
Staining the pages of the nation
[PreChorus]
Xanax and a Newport
"Well, I take care of my kids", she said
[Chorus]
The worst inside of us begets
That feeling on the internet
It's like someone intended it
A diamond in the rough begets
The diamond with a scruff you get
[Outro]
Am I ironically woke? The butt of my joke?
Or am I just some post-coke, average, skinny bloke
Calling his ego imagination?
I've not picked up that in a thousand-four hundred days and nine hours and sixteen minutes, babe
It's kind of my daily iteration
