I could do the dishes while talking on the phone I could ask you for an answer but you want to be alone I can never do the dishes a single dish at a time It's too much of a commitment so I close my eyes and fire  I could calamine your insides I could wind them all around me I could Tiptoe on a tightrope made of fear and looking down see All the people do they see me I can wave or I can carry all the silverware I'm holding that is Keeping me steady  Or I could go to Australia And carry a bowie knife And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side  And learn card tricks and buy Everyone drinks and take boxing and write Songs about my bowie knife  I could do these dishes I could try To do these dishes Time to decide  I could make a cake My kitchen is small but I could clear the space I could write my name 'Cause practice makes perfect yes that's what they say I could rearrange my room and draw a bath and wash my wolf suit  I could make a button out of plaster That said finished I could nail it in my closet To the right side of the light switch I could walk down to a restaurant and try drinking to forget it But then come home less afraid and then press it and press it  Or I could go to Australia Carry a bowie knife And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side And learn card tricks and buy Everyone drinks and take boxing and try Eating things only with chopsticks and write Songs about my bowie knife  I could do these dishes I could try To do these dishes I could try to do these dishes Time to decide  Or I could go to Australia And carry a bowie knife And wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side And learn card tricks and physics and buy Everyone drinks and take boxing and try Eating things only with chopsticks and finally Be like a person I think you'd like  I could do these dishes I could try To do these dishes I could try to do these dishes Time to decide to do these dishes Time to DECIDE'. Fuck it I'm gonna go to Australia I'm gonna go to Australia I'm gonna go to Australia Bye-bye
