Lollipop (Ode to Jim)

Saw Jim Reid in the corridor

I wondered if you could ever see me that way

He was on my list at the grocery store

When you grabbed my wrist and said

"Do you like my keychain?"

Read your feature in a weekly paper

And honestly I found it a little bit blinded

Cried when you fell through the coffee table

And that's when I discovered that my heart exploded

How

How

You're a lollipop

In the form of a lightning bolt

You're a lollipop in my hair

But I'm a gumdrop

Am I ever gonna fit that mould?

'Cause I don't have the patience to wait in line for you, ooh

When I came back to apologize

You asked me if I was intrigued by LSD

I sat next to you on the picnic bench

And before I knew it you were flying next to me

I met your baby at the exposition

But frankly, I found it a little unnerving

I let you know when we were driving home

And all I can remember is the fact you we're swerving

Lollipop

In the form of a lightning bolt

You're a lollipop in my hair (How could I ever obtain you?)

But you're a doorstop

When you're lying on the bathroom floor

And I don't have to time to wait in line for you (How could I ever betray you?)

Alter my state to get through this date

(You're alone in this picture and it swallows me whole)

Alter my state to get through this date

(You're alone in this picture and it swallows me whole)

Alter my state to get through this date

(You're alone in this picture and it swallows me whole)

Alter my state to get through this date

(You're alone in this picture)

Alter my state to get through this date

But you're a lollipop

In the form of a lightning bolt (How could I ever obtain you?)

You're a lollipop in my hand (How could I ever betray you?)

You're like Iggy Pop

Circa '73 or 4 (How could I ever obtain you?)

And I don't have the time to wait in line for you

(How could I ever betray you?)

You

Wait for you
