about

Natti Vogel wrote and performed this song for the October 2011 Bushwick Book Club performance inspired by "Feynman" by Jim Ottaviani. Excerpt from Natti's intro: I chosel one panel fo the book that I really liked that had nothing to do with anything intellectual... it was at this party in high school and dick was making out with some chick, and Arlene came in and she was the queen and Feynman was all like, 'Oh girl...,' but he didn't want to leave his girl because he said it would be undemocratic to drop what you're doing with a plebe when the queen walks in... So I was like oh man, I know what that's like...

lyrics

I just left my lips with the wrong girl
Even a kiss is flavorless with the wrong girl
Though my heart has jumped ship,
It wouldn't be democratic if I were to swim ashore to the right girl

It's a prisoner's dilemma
But I'm gonna get her
She makes these fetters
Weigh a pound of feathers

I close my eyes and pretend I'm with the right girl
But even a kiss is treacherous with the wrong girl

I never had a problem with bread and butter
'Til your caviar
They're starving in Africa
Won't you think about the children

So I'll steal a glance past the neck of the wrong girl to pierce the graceful guise of the right girl
