lyrics

Her boyfriend is an artist she tells me from my bed
but the colors that he mixes don't match the colors in his head
so he paints himself a six-pack and turns on the TV
and he's such a lousy lover and he's got such knobby knees

(all the good times
nothing difficult)

you know your ears stick out she tells me with a kiss
I should not have said that, oh my God I'm such a bitch
but her observations do not bother me, I'm happy with my face
and that boy could paint a masterpiece, I don't need to win a race

I love the girls who have boys that I don't love as much as me

Her underwear is on the floor, the sheets pulled off the bed
Empty bottles line the windowsill next to books I haven't read
and she stretches and she yawns, arches her back just like a cat
I forget my allergies and my arms around her wrap

I love the girls who have boys that I don't love as much as me

You know your teeth are crooked, she is looking in my eyes
I only got one cavity if she got another one she'd die
because it keeps her up at night, the metal in her jaw
she imagines she hears frequencies from a far off distant star

(all the good times
nothing difficult)

A spaceship lands in a corn field somewhere in the Middle West
a runner rounds a corner to find out he's second best
and her boyfriend goes to sleep and I guess he starts to dream
She and I just lay around like in some foreign movie scene

I love the girls who have boys that I don't love as much as me
