Wire Mom

[Verse 1]

“You are a flawed machine,” she said

“Hope that’s worth something”

We always clashed, even when we wore nothing

I said, “Hell yeah, you look so good when you’re crumbling”

The gloss and grandeur of molding tangerines and trashy magazines

[Chorus]

You’re fake, baby, so we can just take you home

You’re fake, baby, so we can just take you home, take you home

Fake baby

Blood crazy

Pinprick wire mom dead daisy

Fake baby

So they can just take you home

[Verse 2]

My eyes are crossed, my will is lost and I’m wasted

Every queasy thought I’ve had is inflated

I puke onstage and slip, face plant and I’m faced with

The acid reflux remains of subjective truth

Still, I always knew

[Chorus]

You’re fake, baby, so we can just take you home

You’re fake, baby, so we can just take you home, take you home

Fake baby

Blood crazy

Pinprick wire mom dead daisy

Fake baby

So they can just take you home, take you home

[Bridge]

Beneath your bombast and the humor of syntax

In carbonite a human being

Once you saw through me but now I’m an employee

So sick of it tired and wizened and free

[Chorus]

You’re fake, baby, so we can just take you home

You’re fake, baby, so we can just take you home, take you home

Fake baby

Blood crazy

Pinprick wire mom dead daisy

Fake baby

So they can just take you home, take you home
