The family piano
We’ll flip open the lid
Write our names in the dust
Draw a heart with your fingertip
I’m droolin’ on my pillow
My rain jacket’s a mess
Left my car in the drive
But it’s gotta get clean I guess
Fallin’ from my lashlines
I’m looking for love- all kinds
No roots here; this is a walking plant
Singin’ along to all those Broadway Soundtracks
How could you think you were stuck?
Look up! Look up! Look up!
Thirty-eight blue post-its
A catalogue of hits
Jenny Lewis is gonna sue us
We’re sure of it
You still believe in me
I knew you always had
Thought that one of the vocal tracks was my dear young dad
Fallin’ from my lashlines
I’m looking for love- all kinds
No roots here; this is a walking plant
Singin’ along to all those Broadway Soundtracks
How could you think you were stuck?
Look up! Look up! Look up!
Come on in, the water’s weird
I’ll put glitter in my beard
Come on in, the water’s queer
No roots here; this is a walking plant
Singin’ along to all those Broadway Soundtracks
How could you think you were stuck?
Look up! Look up! Look up! Look up! Look up!
Look up! Look up!
Look up! Look up!
Don’t cry for me Encinitas
