Waking Rothko - Windows lyrics

rate me

Ally has a problem with the suburbs And she's planning her escape Sick of living rooms that don't get used And always paper plates But she's taking men out and breaking them To see what they might say And she's practicing her sarcasm Almost every single day It's enough to make her break down These days She likes to paint windows She thinks they're waking Rothko She knows her parents don't know What makes her believe Cause they're half asleep Ally has a couple of mothers Just depends on the time of day And again it's a problem of medication And telling herself that it's supposed to feel this way She's got a ticket to New York So she'll take her problems there And she's practicing her earnest look So she'll have it when she cares I sometimes watch her Through my basement window A little perverse a little innocent She found her dad's easel in the stuff that he left When he left her and now she doesn't see the sun And I'm just glad that I'm not the only one
