Guided by Voices
Stingy Queens
Law know where your slow boat
Row where the new technology hates you
Backs cracking
Your mascara running
This freeze dried morning escapes you

You oughta get soaked with water
And lose your morbid fixation
With dogs dying and lost kids crying
Across the entire nation

And all the stars fall in the sea
Are there for your anxiety
The fishing flags are at half mast
The carefree kitchens are a blast
So drink up quick, cause it's going fast

You wanted to know
You wanted to know
You wanted to know

Just when I adjust the frequency
Stations clearing are breaking
Fire engines are chasing devils
And all their levels are peaking
Da-da-da-da-dum-da-da-da-da

I'll never remember none of the words
All of them are reeking

And hoisted up on silly strings
They're prizes for the stingy queens
They're crawling back with shattered heads
We'd all but given up and said
"They're no longer ours so they must be dead"

You wanted to know
You wanted to know
You wanted to know

And one day when we flee
From our sweet misery
And shed our human costumes then
Revealing somewhat smaller then
Go out to work and back again

You wanted to know
You wanted to know
You wanted to know

I’ll tell you what I see
Tell you what I see
Tell you what I see
I’ll see you what I see
See you what I see
See you what I see
