I woke up all forlorn and hollow inside of me
oh yes, I was pretty darn melancholy
all funky blue and my glass was totally empty
and I just wanted to curl up into nothingness . . .
oh, why does my hair have to be bone straight
disgusted, my eyes stare back at me from the mirror blankly, saying
maybe cut it (my hair that is) get some curls and volume
but wait, I cannot do that my wave of long hair
'cause it is my spiritual strength, okay
I want to kiss the person who invented hoodies, and
this wooden excuse for a girl is planning on hiding in one
with this river of hair and the hoodie I should be invisible to all
and any conversation will be futile and a waste of your time
oh, that's just GREAT dance class at 10-
odd, I feel quite alive now . . .
