Any possibility on officially posted lyrics? The ones on both Musixmatch (which Spotify uses) and Genius both seem uniquely incorrect. (Great song, by the way!)

PEDESTRIAN AT BEST was written by Courtney Barnett

I love you I hate you 
I’m on the fence it all depends 
whether I’m up I’m down 
I’m on the mend 
transcending all reality. 
I like you despise you admire you 
what are we gonna do 
when everything all falls through? 
I must confess I’ve made a mess 
of what should be a small success 
but I digress 
at least I’ve tried my very best I guess. 
This that the other 
why even bother, 
it won’t be with me on my death bed, 
but I’ll still be in your head.

Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you. 
Tell me I’m exceptional I promise to exploit you. 
Give me all your money and I’ll make some origami, honey. 
I think you’re a joke but I don’t find you very funny.

My internal monologue 
is saturated analogue, 
It’s scratched and drifting, 
I’ve become attached to the idea 
it’s all a shifting dream bitter sweet philosophy, 
I’ve got no idea how I even got here. 
I’m resentful 
I’m having an existential time crisis, 
what bliss, daylight savings won’t fix this mess. 
Underworked and oversexed 
I must express my disinterest, 
the rats are back inside my head 
what would Freud have said?

Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you. 
Tell me I’m exceptional I promise to exploit you. 
Give me all your money and I’ll make some origami, honey. 
I think you’re a joke but I don’t find you very funny.

I wanna wash out my head with turpentine and cyanide,
I dislike this internal diatribe 
when I try to catch your eye 
I hate seeing you crying in the kitchen 
I don’t know why it affects me like this when you’re not even mine to consider.
Erroneous.
Harmonious.
I’m hardly sanctimonious.
Dirty clothes, I suppose, 
we all outgrow ourselves.
I’m a fake, 
I’m a phoney, 
I’m awake, 
I’m alone, 
I’m homely, 
I’m a Scorpio.

Put me on a pedestal and I’ll only disappoint you. 
Tell me I’m exceptional I promise to exploit you. 
Give me all your money and I’ll make some origami, honey. 
I think you’re a joke but I don’t find you very funny.

Lyrics:
What do you mean when you say,
What's going on? qu'est que c'est?
You're looking good with purple hair,
I bet you're used to the debonaires.
Buying you drinks, taking you out,
I'm living rough but you're worth a shout.
I know a joint where beers are cheap,
I used to work there but they recently fired me.

What's her name?
I think she did tell,
though I am drunk I can't recall.
Wanna go outside? smoke a Bali dart? 
Chat about life and festivals you wanna attend,
But your job won't let you take any time off then.
I said quit, buy flights and commit,
everything will work itself out.
She said her horoscope was definitely right,
"I like it when you talk in that vibe".

What do you mean when you say,
What's going on? qu'est que c'est?
You're looking good with purple hair,
I bet you're used to the debonaires.
Buying you drinks, taking you out,
I'm living rough but you're worth a shout.
I know a joint where beers are cheap,
I worked their once but they fired me,
cause I lost my lungs singing Queen.

I'm gunna go and get a Taxi with my friends,
Are you keen for kick ons?
All night long,
She say's you can interpret that how you want.
I'm gunna go and get a Taxi with my friends,
Are you keen for kick ons?

4am, there's fuel in the tank,
I aint ready to call it yet.
What you got in mind? she says with a smile,
Everything will be shut unless you like China town?
I've been buckled there so much that they give discounts.
She said great, it's early or late,
What category would you class yourself?
I said the night is young and we're still alive.
"I like it when you talk in that vibe".

Keen For Kick Ons?
