History

Needle And Thread

I had pinwheels in my eyes for you
Blinded by the pinks and blues
Oh, you were my wind-up Romeo
We had matching bubblegum tattoos
Serenade me with your kazoo
You tricked me with your ribbons and your bows

It's so shiny in a shopping cart
Pretty in a parking lot
But when you go home
That's when it falls apart

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Wine and dine me with your plastic fruit
Robbed me of my sweet tooth
Held me up with a loaded water gun
Tied me to these toy train tracks
You left me there and you never came back
Tacky souvenirs when it's said and done

It's so shiny in a shopping cart
Pretty in a parking lot
But when you go home
That's when it falls apart

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store

(Come and play)
(Come and play)

Oh, my love is like a virus
Ain't no doctor gonna stop it
Why won't you just come and play with me?
(Why won't you just come and play?)
Yes, this feeling is contagious
I think you should be courageous
Why don't you just come and play with me?
(Why won't you just come and play?)

Don't be afraid
(Come and play)

Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties (Come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you wanna catch my cooties? (Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)
Cooties, cooties
(Come and play)

So wrapped up in this affliction
Shut your mouth and baby, listen
Stop teasing just come and play with me
(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Come and play)

Don't be afraid
(Come and play)

Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies
Don't be frightened 'bout my cooties (Come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie
Don't you wanna catch my cooties? (Come and play)
Kiss my lips, they're red like rubies (Cooties)
Don't be frightened about my cooties (Cooties, come and play)
Romance me like a silent movie (Cooties)
Don't you wanna catch my cooties? (Cooties, come and play)


(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Come and play)
(Why won't you just come and play?)
(Why won't you just come and play?)

Cooties

I could pull the sheets over my head
And never get out of this bed
But what would that do?
I avoid all mirrors
'Cause I'm scared to look into my eyes
When I only see you

It's like you're always creeping
On the walls and in my feelings
All those stories about ghosts are really true

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do
I'm haunted by you

I can hear you talking in the distance
Your persistence is so cruel
And all your words pull at my feet
And I fall back in love with you
What can I do?

It's like you're always creeping
On the walls and in my feelings
All those stories about ghosts are really true

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do

We used to be so warm
But now we're just an ice storm
Slowly freezing up my heart
We used to be so warm
But now we're just an ice storm
Slowly freezing up my heart, heart, heart

I put one foot
In front of the other
In front of the other
Slowly, I turn every corner
Turn every corner
Even when you're nowhere in the room
I'm haunted by you

I light all my candles
Light all my candles
The darkness is too hard to handle
Too hard to handle
Sleeping is just something I can't do
I'm haunted by you

Melanie Martinez - Arts And Crafts

Hold those bloodshot eyes
Dip them in Visine and lights
Forget my name at midnight
It's okay, I'm a mime

I'm tongue tied in the night time
Silent, sleepless 'til the sunrise
Claustrophobic with no night light, night light
I'll just wait here for the sunrise so you can crawl back into my life
Until then I'll be the night mime, night mime

Get out, get out
Get out, get out
Get out, get out

Stay up late with broken minds
No text from you but I'll be fine
I fall asleep with ocean eyes
I say no words like a midnight mime
Mime, midnight mime

I'm tongue tied in the night time
Silent, sleepless 'til the sunrise
Claustrophobic with no night light, night light
I'll just wait here for the sunrise so you can crawl back into my life
Until then I'll be the night mime, night mime

Get out, get out
Get out, get out
Get out, get out

Night Mime

Hello?
Hi
Who is this?

Hi, my name is Melatonin
I can help you sleep
I know your life is so fucked up, baby
Let's play inside your dreams
You'll always be protected when you hide under the sheets
Z-Z-Z-Z-Z
Just bring your handbook for the recently deceased
Z-Z-Z-Z-Z
Won't you stay for dinner? We're serving lollipops
If you're mean to me I'll make all your teeth rot
I'll pick them up and lock them in my jewelry box
Z-Z-Z-Z

Tell me everything will be alright
I need to get some sleep tonight
Z-Z-Z-Z-Z

The boys are in their suits and ties
And girls commitin' suicide
Luna's on the roof again
I threw my bear out and he's back for revenge, revenge
We used to have the perfect lawn
'Til someone left the faucet on
Now the whole house is flooded
I'll row my boat with my beloved
Z-Z-Z-Z

Tell me everything will be alright
I need to get some sleep tonight
Z-Z

Zzzz

You're always gonna say it, but you're never gonna do it
And if we're being honest, man, you really put me through it
I'm gonna breathe it out next time we scream and shout

And I'm not like your other types, you know I'll put up a fight
Not because I want to, just because it ain't right
To cut me with your words and think I won't be hurt

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'

I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)

Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'

Don't dress it up, tell me the raw and real
I can't mind read how you feel
Open your throat
I'm gonna climb in to catch what you said to me
Your tongue is as, as cutting as, as a machete

Under the desk
It's pretty vulnerable, I confess
You're always safe with me
So don't stress, don't stress, don't stress

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm trying to find the solution, no stressin'

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress

I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)

Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy
