Everybody rise. Here she comes
She's pressing herself right up to my tongue
And that's when she picks the songs
That's when she picks the songs
Now my voice is dry. I move to speak
It looks like trouble and I'm just barely breathing
And that's when she picks the songs
That's when she picks the songs
I suppose that I shouldn't complain
I'd curse the sun if she wanted it to rain
It's all cool 'cause I'm half in the bag
She's somewhere on a caffeine nicotine jag
She's the wrecking ball. The back head smack
My penny's left on her railroad track
Yeah that's when she picks the songs
That's when she picks the songs
With her wooden nickels and Jackie O. shades
She gets what she wants and she's got me in spades
Yeah that's when she picks the songs
That's when she picks the songs
I take a sip from here paper sack
It's tonic water and ipecac
I purge myself on her frozen rope
Her fingernails tickle the back of my throat
A look at how easily she greets my best
Watch me die my little death
As someone else's song can turn her on
So, everybody rise. Here she comes
She's pressing herself right up to my tongue
And that's when she picks the songs
That's when she picks the songs
