Of Montreal - I Felt Like Smashing My Head Through A Clear Glass lyrics

rate me

All day long, I felt like smashing my face

Through a clear glass window

But instead, I went out

And smashed up a phone booth around the corner

I never had a chance to choose my own parents

I never know why she was suffering mine

Mommy's always trying not to eat

And daddy's always spending like he's pick a little booze

I never had a chance to choose my own name

I never know why she was suffering mine

Mommy's always talking 'bout the family pie

And daddy's always hiding on the weekend, right

All day long, I felt like smashing my neck

Through a clear glass window

But instead, I went out

And smashed up a station wagon around the corner

I looked in the mirror and told myself

I'm glad I still don't look like them at least

Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror

And daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war

I went to shake hands with the President in Miami

I went to a rock show to see Mick Jagger

You never believed in the surprise of my life

They have been on the faces, just like my mommy

Am I going crazy or is it just you, daddy?

Am I going nuts or is it just you, mommy?

Am I playing gone or is it just the world?

Daddy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy

Trying to talk to them is like eating TV dinner when you're angry

Trying to get their love is like watching

as you cannot when you're hungry

They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break

But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall

Am I going crazy or is it just you, daddy?

Am I going nuts or is it just you, mommy?

Am I playing gone or is it just the world?

Mommy, I'd rather have you dead than crazy

All day long, I felt like smashing my head

In a clear glass window

But instead, I went out

And smashed up the church around the corner
