Amanda Palmer - The Point Of It All Lyrics
Oh what a noble distiguished collection of fine little friends you have madeHitting the tables without you again no we'll wait no we promise we'll waitJune makes these excellent sewing machines out of common industrial wasteShe spends a few months at a time on the couchBut she's safe she wears shades she wears shadesOh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby dollAnd you're aces for coming alongYou're almost human after allAnd you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friendsDoesn't mean they'll callThey made the comment and justBut you've got the needle, I guess that's the point of it allMaybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you how nice life can beWe propped you right up in a chair on a deck with a beautiful view of the seaBut a couple days later we came back and you and the chair were nowhere to be seenYou had magically moved to the closet eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had beenOh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby dollAnd you're aces for coming alongYou're almost human after allWhy on earth would I keep you propped up in here when you so love the fallWell the patterns laid out on the bedWith dozens of colors of threadBut youve got the needle, I guess that's the point in the endWell it's better to waste your day watching the scenery change at a comatose rateThen to put yourself in and turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hateBut while you were sleeping some men came around and said they had some dementions to takeI'm not sure what they were talking about but they sure a mess of your faceBut still no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby dollAnd you're aces for playing along you're almost human even nowAnd just cause they call themselves experts it doesn't mean sweet f**k all.Oh they've got the permanent price and the homes with a stable addressAnd they've got excitement and life by the fistful but you've got the needleI guess that's the point of it all
