Do you like it like that, do you like it simmering 
On extra, extra low? 
Do you like it like that, do you like it so
Impossibly slow? 

Do you like it like that, do you like it that way, honey? 
Do you like it like that, how do you like it? 

Do you like it that way, sweet
And a little sour on the side? 
Do you like it so impossibly sweet
Oozing sour on the side? 
Do you like it like that, will you still have it that way? 

But you are not even there
And you don’t have to be
And I like that flavor 
Whatever it is 

Oh, how predictable, unoriginal
Unsurprising, vanilla ice cream      
Oh, how predictable, unoriginal
Unsurprising, vanilla ice cream

Do you like it like that, spicy
And a little rare in the middle? 
Do you like it burning hot and so raw, raw, so wrong
Do you still like it, honey? Tell me

Aha, don’t you love it that way? 
How does it taste now
Will you still have it that way? 

But you are not even there
And you don’t have to be
And I like that flavor 
Whatever it is

Hiding in the Wind

Like That Flavor

I got a self-driving car, I’m gonna drive it around 
I got a self-driving car, my friend, I’m gonna drive it around 
I got a self-driving car, but you can’t come along    
 
Cause it’s a one seater 
And I can drive it all night, and I can drive it at dawn 
And I can drive it or not
I got a self-driving car, my friend, but you can’t come along 

Ooh – ooh-ooh Ooh – ooh-ooh 				 
La-La la la la la la la la la      
Ooh – ooh-ooh Ooh – ooh-ooh
La-la-la-la-la-la  				
 
Yes, it’s a one seater 
And I can drive it non-stop, and I can drive it so slow 
Oh, so slow
No, my friend, you can’t come along 

Ooh – ooh-ooh Ooh – ooh-ooh 				 
La-La la la la la la la la la      
Ooh – ooh-ooh Ooh – ooh-ooh
La-la-la-la-la-la

I got a self-driving car, I’m gonna drive it around 
I got a self-driving car, my friend, I’m gonna drive it around 
I got a self-driving car, but you can’t come along  
Cause it’s a one seater 

One Seater

Frustrated expectations 
One-sided conversations
Guilty pleasures and temptations 
I think we need to talk. 
Ambitious aspirations
Destructive ideations
Self-searching explorations
We really need to talk 

Let’s  talk about the elephant 
Talk  about  the elephant 
Talk  about  the elephant in the room 
Let’s talk about it
Talk about the elephant (ooh)
Why don’t we talk about the elephant (aah)
Let’s talk about the elephant  
Let’s talk about it, please 

You got yourself a little something
You got yourself a little plan
To happy-happy ever after 
Yet here we are again 
A little hint, a little sign
A little yours, a little mine
A little sweet and sleepy lie-la-lullaby  
We need to talk for a while 
 
Except for this one
Talking about it is so uncomfortable 
Let’s ignore the Elephant 
Menopause, vulnerability 
Consensual non-monogamy 
Wait, what? 

Let’s  talk about the elephant  
Talk  about  the elephant 
Talk  about  the elephant in the room 
Let’s talk about it 
Talk about the elephant, ooh (let’s talk it out)
Why don’t we talk about the elephant, aah (let’s talk, my friend) 
Let’s talk about the elephant  (don’t be afraid) 
Let’s talk about it, please (let’s talk it out)

Let’s  talk about (we can talk about anything) the elephant  
Talk  about  (there’s nothing we can’t talk about) the elephant 
Talk  about  (talk to me, baby) the elephant in the room (talk to me)
Let’s talk about it 
Talk about the elephant, ooh (talk to me, baby)
Why don’t we talk about the elephant, aah (let’s talk about it) 
Let’s talk about the elephant  
Let’s talk about it, please
