Off With Your Head

Sleater-Kinney

there are many things i'm tired of

that's what she said

so she took out a knife

and said off with my head

what's the use in knowing that the rest of me is dead

what good is a brain if it's all you got left



there's a part that you have missed

don't need proof that i exist

you don't know i'm far away

from those awful things you say



what you put at the top of the neck to replace the skull

a balloon that you found at the shopping mall

took out a pen, drew on a happy face

now she walks around like her own parade



there are words you'll never hear

you've got poison in your ear

you don't know i'm far away

from those awful things you say



come on i want a new reason to feel

(are you sick of your skin)

a way to know that all i see is real

(here's a bag to bury you in)

free from all your toxic melody

(you've got a lot of nerve)

free from all the sadness that i see

(and you'll get what you deserve)



sing me something good this time

tired of wicked lullabies

you don't know i'm far away

from those awful things you say



sing me something good this time

(i'm not your time bomb baby)

tired of wicked lullabies

(i've got no fuse)

you don't know i'm far away

(go ahead and call me crazy)

from those awful things you say

(but that's over-used)
