Lyrics
Chump Change
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
i stole a page from your book
and a line from your page
and flew into a lesbian rage
cursing mine and my own rotten luck
another nude descends
a staircase to get fucked
a city scene
darkness falls
now skate hard down the gallery walls
explore those themes
i hear your work's informed by queens
so is mine now
there's a plague on
there's a rat-tailed ensemble
burying all of our hits in the sand
the same sand a desert uses
now wipe that look from your face
the world is that which is the case
it's okay to be seen
don't dethrone the drama queen
just for putting everybody in their place
go, don't stay
just throw it all away
there is you
and then there is your body
