Pictures Of Success

Rilo Kiley

Build your own television receiver,

Staying home can't be that bad for me

Cause I'm not scared, but I'd like

Some extra spare time,

Easily earn me big money

I'm a modern girl, but I fold in half so easily When I put myself in the picture of success

I could learn world trade or try to map the ocean



When you're dead, in hospitals and freeways

When you're dead, in resting homes and clinics

When you're dead, it must be nice to finish

When you're dead



I've had it with you,

And Mexico can fucking wait

And all of those French films about trains

Cause I'm not scared, but I'd like

Some extra spare time

I'm not scared, but the bills

Keep changing colors



When you're dead, in hopsitals and freeways

When you're dead, in dress shirts and neck ties

When you're dead, in apartments and on beaches

When you're dead



They say California is a recipe for a black hole

And I say I've got my best shoes on,

I'm ready to go

Ready to go, ready to go, I'm ready to go

Ready to go, ready to go, I'm ready to go



These are times that can't be weathered

And we have never been back there since then

These are times that can't be weathered

And we haven't been back there since then

These are times that can't be weathered

And we have never been back there since then

These are times that can't be weathered

And we haven't been back there since then
