Fiona Apple - Periphery lyrics

rate me

Oh, the periphery

They throw good parties there

Those peripheral idiots

Always have a bite to bare

Bear it if you can

If you really want to

Go to the periphery

Have them celebrate your name

Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be

Left to run the races lame

But if you want

If you think it's worth it

Go now, with me

Cause I don't appreciate

People who

Don't appreciate

All that loving must've been lacking something

If I got bored trying to figure you out

You let me down

I don't even like you anymore at all

Oh, the periphery

I lost another one there

He found a prettier girl than me

With a more even-tempered air

And if he wants her, he should get her

Cause I think he thinks she's worth it

And maybe they'll move from the periphery

By themselves, or on a plot of land

And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be

Hoping he makes a good family man

And if he finds himself yearning

For his throne on the silly side

Nothing wrong as long as he's learning

Besides, you can take it up with his brethren

Or with his bride, just not with me

Cause I don't appreciate

People who

Don't appreciate

All that loving must've been lacking something

If I got bored trying to figure you out

You let me down

I don't even like you anymore at all

Oh, the periphery

Oh, the periphery

Oh, the periphery

Oh, the periphery

Stay away

Stay away

Away, away

Stay away, away
