Love, Me Normally
[00:14.20] In lipstick on the mirror
[00:17.19] Are the lyrics to my obituary
[00:20.45] In iambic pentameter, followed parameter
[00:23.94] Crossing my eyes, dot my T's
[00:26.44] I was delivered holding scissors
[00:29.68] I live deliberately, I'm a quitter
[00:33.19] And a winner anyway
[00:36.20] Cause I never agreed to participate in this game
[00:40.45] Won't follow my dreams
[00:42.68] No, they've all got me waking up screaming
[00:45.95] I can let them go from me
[00:49.20] After all there is no "I" in team
[00:51.70] And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
[00:55.20] I suggest that we keep this informal
[00:58.69] Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
[01:04.19] To pretend to be normal to be normal
[01:08.33] Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
[01:11.32] To be normal in a way I couldn't be
[01:18.34] C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally
[01:34.09] If I could live in third person
[01:37.09] Well I don't think life would be much worse than it is
[01:40.33] In the current tense, presently
[01:42.32] This sentence ending with question marks or dot dot dot
[01:46.35] Is it courageous or escapist
[01:49.58] To leave the quarantine when you're contagious
[01:53.34] It may just be a cold
[01:56.08] And besides I don't wanna get old
[02:00.34] I drank myself to death to be the afterlife of the party
[02:05.84] When the afterparty came, I was rolling in my grave
[02:11.59] And I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
[02:15.33] I suggest that we keep this informal
[02:18.72] Cause a normal human being wouldn't need
[02:24.22] To pretend to be normal to be normal
[02:28.22] Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
[02:31.23] To be normal in a way I couldn't be
[02:38.22] C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally
[02:54.46] Now this is the part of the song where I like to talk to my audience
[02:57.73] I like to tell 'em there's something I want from you hep cats tonight
[03:00.72] I want you to look to your left, look to your right
[03:02.72] Your 12 o'clock, three o'clock, six o'clock, nine o'clock, rock around the clock tonight
[03:05.71] And I want you to find those points of no return, those singularities
[03:08.22] Those burning rings of fire in the beautiful pupils of the beautiful eyes of the beautiful
[03:11.73] Boy, girl, neither, both, or in-between that you brought with you tonight
[03:14.48] And I want you to tell 'em how you really feel
[03:16.63] I want you to tell 'em that you love the way they so seamlessly, like a dreamfully
[03:20.63] So beautifully, oh so dutifully
[03:23.28] Jam that square peg in the round hole in their heart
[03:26.27] I want you to tell 'em that you love the way
[03:28.33] That they don't stick out like sore middle fingers
[03:30.35] That they crawl their way up the side of the bell curve
[03:32.18] Stick their flag in the peak, and slide their way back down
[03:35.67] I want you to tell them that you love the way that they're not maladaptive
[03:37.93] Not malcontent, not malignant or maleficent, but rather that you love them
[03:42.17] Exactly the way that everybody else is
[03:45.68] I was nothing before so I couldn't have asked to be born
[03:52.32] I'll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then
[03:58.58] Is there nothing to fear? Cause shit's getting weird
[04:04.33] So to God who made this man, you better have one hell of a plan
[04:10.08] I'd rather be normal. Yes, so normal
[04:13.82] I suggest that we keep this informal
[04:17.08] Cause a normal human being wouldn't need. No
[04:23.34] To pretend to be normal to be normal
[04:26.47] Well I guess that's the least that I owe ya
[04:29.73] To be normal in a way I could never be
[04:36.72] C'mon, c'mon, yeah, I said c'mon, yeah
[04:39.98] C'mon, c'mon, yeah, I said c'mon, yeah
[04:43.22] C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally
[04:52.64] C'mon, c'mon, and love me normally
