Stephen Malkmus - GARDENIA lyrics

rate me

I kind of like the way you dot your j's<br>

With giant circles of<br> naivete

The kind of circles include everything<br>

Don't mean to damn you with the faintest praise<br>

It's just a symptom of the blive age<br>

Walter Witman

He would be amazed<br>

So you got some curb apeal<br>

But can you cook a 3 course meal<br>

Or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again hey<br>

Well you are a gardenia<br>

Pressed in a campaign journal<br>

In the rucksack of an Afrikaner candidate for mild reform<br>

It's like we're at ponzi scamanar<br>

There's no escaping without a door prize<br>

They're operating at significant loss<br>

And now the way you watch your weight<br>

Richard Avedon<br>

Richard Avedon would<br>

Richard Avedon would surely approve<br>

So much for your curb appeal<br>

And so much for the 3 course meals<br>

Cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again<br>

Well the torture of the Van Wyck Expressway at 5 pm on friday gives you some idea of how rejection makes me feel<br>

Well you are a gardenia<br>

Well you are a gardenia<br>

Thanks to Me for these lyrics
