lyrics

Anything

Pickin’ up broken glass with bare fingers
I’d do anything in the world for you
Make a soup of rusty nails and shingles
Even eat the rubber sole of my shoe

I’m standin’ atop a ladder
I’m washin’ the windows of my soul
This sad world is getting sadder
Just tickle my ribs till I lose control

Runnin’ out for Chinese food in a snowstorm
I’d do anything in the world for you
Tattoo your dog’s face on my forearm
Even use my toothbrush to paint your bathroom blue

You keep playin’ hard to get yeah
Just slippin’ away like the setting sun
Our love is like a cigarette
There’s nothin’ but ashes when it’s done

Every time I try to nail you down
I just beat myself up with the hammer
You walk by dressed to kill
And find me lounging on the sofa
In my polka dot pajamas
