The lady's a killer, the lady's a tramp
She started a family before with two other men
If I was you I'll tell you what I would do
Think of your family, think of your friends
Forget all the salt she shakes and her supple breasts
If I was you, baby, that's what I would do
You say you're accomplished, you've done it all
It must be a cocaine binge or no binge at all
So junkies unite! You still own the night
You split all your time between your work and home
Suddenly two point five kids are fully grown
If I have a say quit your job today
If I was you, baby, that's what I would do

Born on a Tuesday she weighted eight pounds five
Colic and disease free this one would survive
Came of age with a face as cute as Norah Jones
But the sickness she developed left a stranger in her own home
Felt the sure signs at the age of fourteen
Her bosoms led to thoughts of masculine amenities
Recorded her disorder on a valentine
Remember daddy's little girl as a remnant of the old times
(Exchanged, not sold)
Re-energized in a man's life
(Exchanged, not sold)
No more thoughts of suicide
(Exchanged, not sold)
Re-energized in a man's life
Her parents left her unsupported and ignored it 'til it cleared
Continued buying dresses until she came home with a beard
Jacked with testosterone
Finally 'she' became 'he' full-grown
In a three piece suit complete with cowboy boots
Cleared her throat and took a step out the door in good form
Her strides became long and her psyche got strong
Her boots click-clacked with the rhythm she contracted
A test run as a man to see how she would fare
At Sully's Shop people pointed, whispered, and stared
She was almost broken until he looked in her eyes and said
"Thank you sir. Have a nice day, and Goodbye"
Happy in the moment he constructed a smile
Paved the way in the 80's for the freedom of now
But never did he leave the little girl inside
Trapped by his father's failure to realize he was:
(Exchanged, not sold)
Re-energized in a man's life
(Exchanged, not sold)
No more thoughts of suicide
(Exchanged, not sold)
Re-energized in a man's life
Sing your song you're re-energized

It all started on a Monday
Complained her head felt light
Then her skin went incandescent
But she could still see alright
"It's all a dream. Pinch me. I'll wake from rest tonight"
She murmured at no one special
Then floated to paradise
Up in the sky she sings "It's so peculiar.
I was afraid, but now I'm not"
She stayed aloft to set the sun
Too bad no one she knows could come along
Now they'll believe she was faking it
They'll believe she was faking it
Time and time again she floated
Assisted by helium
Ran a course right through the shadows
Emerged to a light of freon
Then met her fate
Exploded into thousands of dreams
Now she's seen on cloudy days
In sunbeams
Up in the sky she sings "It's so peculiar.
I was afraid, but now I'm not"
She stayed aloft to set the sun
Too bad no one she knows could come along
Now they'll believe she was faking it
They'll believe she was faking it
They search partied for days
Through the mud and brush in the pouring rain
She was the talk of the town and news of the day
Is she going to be okay?
I've never been a bubble or effervesced like a steam cloud on a summer day
Maybe she got sick of home and decided to run away
Up in the sky she sings "It's so peculiar.
I was afraid, but now I'm not"
She stayed aloft to set the sun
Too bad no one she knows could come along
Now they'll believe she was faking it
They'll believe she was faking it

Dirty little girl
Hides out in my head
I wish I'd forget it all
And leave that girl behind me

"Displaying hints of Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Crowded House, shoegaze...this could be one of the catchiest local albums you'll hear this year. Seriously."
