"Sing, Theresa Says"


go to sleep while i gather all my things
and i will call you in a couple of days
i can hear the june bugs approaching
a god damn army of them in my brain

"sing," theresa says. "sing happy things"
"sing," theresa says if i do everything
one day a man will spring worth loving

all of my friends fall from the sky now
many more than i ever thought i had
everyone is sharpening up their angles
when all i really want is...

"sing," theresa says. "sing happy things"
"sing," theresa says if i do everything
one day a man will spring worth loving

ba-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum
ba-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum
ba-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum
ba-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum

"sing," theresa says. "sing happy things"
"sing," theresa says if i do everything
one day a man will spring worth loving
