lyrics

Laurel can't get laid because her boyfriend is all mind
even though he's also muscular and blue.
He's got a great body. He's just not in it half the time.
He send his clones in to have sex when he's got other things to do.

That and she's suppressing the knowledge of her father because dealing with the truth is such a hassle
especially when your father had tried to rape your mother making her the product of a costumed slut and a costumed ass hole.

Ha ah ah..
you don't know how.... to be normal now.

Laurel I don't believe you when you say that you're upset by those folks who died for take-out tandoori
One minute you're crying the next you're undressed, which could be kind of deep or kind of whorey.

Ha ah aha...
You never liked the life. What is that in your pipe? She was raised to fight. What is that in your pipe?

Susan recorded this herself. It was her first song ever written on bass. She can't really play the bass.
