With Baby

"Meet me at the mall,"

She whispered from the discount rack

Flannel skivvies (pilfered) in her tote bag

"Then come over for Monopoly on Sunday."

I'm thinking maybe

At her door, twenty cats casing the place

Collected works of Franzen on her bookcase

That's scary, but maybe I'm safe

With baby

I can't lie

I won't do this with anybody else around

Gate's locked, so crash through it

She isn’t anyone

Kissing the hero in the photo booth

We're gonna get the picture soon

Love's only magic by the light of the moon

And nighttime isn't absolute

Kissing the hero in the photo booth

Telescope the star you've hitched onto

If I had to see her again

It'd throw my heart out of whack, baby

Why would I lie?

I won't do that to anybody else again

Wall's up for immurement

She isn't anyone to me

Kissing the hero in the photo booth

We're gonna get the picture soon

Love's only magic by the light of the moon

And nighttime isn't absolute

Kissing the hero in the photo booth

Telescope the star you've hitched onto

I can't with baby

I can't with baby

The only kick that I want comes from a soda can

I can't with baby

I can't with baby

The only high that I like comes from

Kissing the hero

Kissing the hero

Kissing the hero in this photo booth

Telescope the star you’re hitched on

'Til you see what glitz you made up

Glitter's only dust and glue
