Love, Me Normally
[00:14.31] In lipstick on the mirror
[00:16.81] Are the lyrics to my obituary
[00:20.33] In iambic pentameter, followed parameter
[00:23.56] Crossing my eyes, dot my T's
[00:26.31] I was delivered holding scissors
[00:29.57] I live deliberately, I'm a quitter
[00:32.82] And a winner anyway
[00:36.06] Cause I never agreed to participate in this game
[00:40.31] Won't follow my dreams
[00:42.56] No, they've all got me waking up screaming
[00:45.82] I can let them go from me
[00:48.56] After all there is no "I" in team
[00:51.81] And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
[00:55.06] I suggest that we keep this informal
[00:58.32] Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
[01:03.82] To pretend to be normal to be normal
[01:08.06] Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
[01:11.06] To be normal in a way I couldn't be
[01:18.06] C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally
[01:33.56] If I could live in third person
[01:37.06] Well I don't think life would be much worse than it is
[01:40.06] In the current tense, presently
[01:42.06] This sentence ending with question marks or dot dot dot
[01:46.07] Is it courageous or escapist
[01:49.57] To leave the quarantine when you're contagious
[01:52.82] It may just be a cold
[01:56.06] And besides I don't wanna get old
[01:59.81] I drank myself to death to be the afterlife of the party
[02:05.81] When the afterparty came, I was rolling in my grave
[02:11.82] And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
[02:15.06] I suggest that we keep this informal
[02:18.31] Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
[02:24.07] To pretend to be normal to be normal
[02:28.06] Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
[02:31.06] To be normal in a way I couldn't be
[02:38.06] C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally
[02:54.36] Now this is the part of the song where I like to talk to my audience
[02:57.35] I like to tell 'em there's something I want from you hep cats tonight
[03:00.61] I want you to look to your left, look to your right
[03:02.10] Your 12 o'clock, three o'clock, six o'clock, nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight
[03:05.85] And I want you to find those points of no return, those singularities
[03:07.60] Those burning rings of fire in the beautiful pupils of the beautiful eyes of the beautiful
[03:11.61] Boy, girl, neither, both, or in-between that you brought with you tonight
[03:14.11] And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel
[03:16.60] I want you to tell 'em that you love the way they so seamlessly, like a dreamfully
[03:20.35] So beautifully, oh so dutifully
[03:23.11] Jam that square peg in the round hole in their heart
[03:26.12] I want you to tell 'em that you love the way
[03:27.86] That they don't stick out like sore middle fingers
[03:29.60] That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve
[03:32.11] Stick their flag in the peak, and slide their way back down
[03:35.11] I want you to tell them that you love the way that they're not maladaptive
[03:37.86] Not malcontent, not malignant or maleficent, but rather that you love them
[03:41.86] Exactly the way that everybody else is
[03:46.35] I was nothing before so I couldn't have asked to be born
[03:51.86] I'll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then
[03:58.36] Is there nothing to fear? Cause shit's getting weird
[04:04.35] So to God who made this man, you better have one hell of a plan
[04:10.11] I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
[04:13.60] I suggest that we keep this informal
[04:16.86] Cause a normal human being wouldn't need. No
[04:22.85] To pretend to be normal to be normal
[04:26.37] Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
[04:29.60] To be normal in a way I could never be
[04:36.36] C'mon, c'mon, yeah, I said c'mon, yeah
[04:39.86] C'mon, c'mon, yeah, I said c'mon, yeah
[04:42.85] C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally
