Amanda Palmer - The Point of if All lyrics

rate me

Oh, what a noble, distinguished collection

of fine little friends you have made

Hitting the tables without you again:

"No, we'll wait, no, we promise, we'll wait"

June makes these excellent sewing machines

out of common industrial waste

She spends a few months at a time on the couch,

but she's safe she wears shades, she wears shades

Oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll

And you're aces for coming along

You're almost human, after all

And you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends

Doesn't meant they'll call

They made the comment in jest

But you've got the needle

I guess that's the point of it all

Maybe a week in the tropics would help

to remind you how nice life can be

We propped you right up in a chair on a deck

with a beautiful view of the sea

But a couple weeks later we came back

and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen

You had magically moved to the closet

Eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had been

Oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll

And you're aces for coming along

You're almost human, after all

Why on earth would I keep you propped up in here when you so love the fall?

The pattern's laid out on the bed

With dozens of colors of thread

But you've got the needle

I guess that's the point in the end

It's better to waste your day watching the scenery

change at a comatose rate

Than to put yourself in it and

turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hate

But while you were sleeping some men came around

Said they had some dimensions to take

I'm not sure what they were talking about

but they sure made a mess of your face

But still, no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll

And you're aces for playing along

You're almost human, even now

And just 'cause they call themselves experts

It doesn't mean sweet fuck all

They've got the permanent press

Homes with a stable address

And they've got excitement

And life by the fistful

But you've got the needle

I guess that's the point of it all
