Pedestrian at Best

Courtney Barnett

6

I love you, I hate you, I′m on the fence, it all depends

Whether I'm up or down, I′m on the mend, transcending all reality

I like you, despise you, admire youWhat are we gonna do when everything all falls through?

I must confess, I've made a mess of what should be a small success

But I digress, at least I've tried my very best, I guess

This, that, the other, why even bother?

It won′t be with me on my deathbed, but I′ll still be in your head

Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you

Tell me I′m exceptional, I promise to exploit you

Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey

I think you′re a joke, but I don't find you very funny

My internal monologue is saturated analog

It′s scratched and drifting, I've become attached to the idea

It's all a shifting dream, bittersweet philosophy

I′ve got no idea how I even got here

I′m resentful, I'm having an existential time crisis

Want bliss, daylight savings won′t fix this mess

Under-worked and over-sexed, I must express my disinterest

The rats are back inside my head, what would Freud have said?

Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you

Tell me I′m exceptional, I promise to exploit you

Give me all your money, and I'll make some origami, honey

I think you′re a joke, but I don't find you very funny

I wanna wash out my head with turpentine, cyanide

I decide this internal diatribe

When I try to catch you right, I hate seeing you crying

In the kitchen, I don't know why it affects me like this

When you′re not even mine to consider

Erroneous, harmonious, I′m hardly sanctimonious

Dirty clothes, I suppose we all outgrow ourselves

I'm a fake, I′m a phoney

I'm awake, I′m alone

I'm homely, I′m a Scorpio!

Put me on a pedestal and I'll only disappoint you

Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you

Give me all your money, and I′ll make some origami, honey

I think you′re a joke, but I don't find you very funny

Put me on a pedestal and I′ll only disappoint you

Tell me I'm exceptional, I promise to exploit you

Give me all your money, and I′ll make some origami, honey

I think you're a joke, but I don′t find you very funny
