My Dead Girl - Speedy Ortiz

Better yet, better get jealous of what didn’t get your name

Better you fake the truth

I tried to buy an aluminum toy from the booth outside the dojo

With a ten buck coin from your old drawer

Don’t even know what you’ve been up to

Since the time you said I never saw the real you

Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie

I got you, but if you ever saw me

I go riding in cars but I’m not the driver

Riding in cars, now I’m the bad girl you wanted

Pull the shades.

Make the call.

Get the feds crawling through the lawn

I got smoke in my iris

Backwater acid bath for riddle-rousing cowards

Better me than you’ve ever seen

Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie

If these are my last words, guess you found me

I go riding in cars but I’m not the driver

Riding in cars, now I’m the dead girl you wanted

Don’t even know what you’ve been up to

And the me that you knew, that was some other me

Brain like a sphinx but got nails like a prom queen

Stay on the bleachers, from there you can watch me

Go riding in cars, but I’m not the driver

Riding in cars, more like the dead girl you wanted

Riding in cars and you’re not the driver

Forever and overly gone
