Gardenia
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks
I kinda like the way you dot your "J"s
With giant circles of naïveté
The kind of circles include everything
Don't mean to damn you with the faintest phrase
It's just a symptom of the blave age
I want to live in
He would be amazed.
So you've got some curb appeal
But can you cook a three course meal?
Or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again? Hey!
You are a gardenia,
pressed in the campaign journal in the rucksack of an Afrikaaner candidate for mild reform.
It's like we're at a Ponzi Scheme now
There's no escaping
Without a door prize
They're operating at significant loss.
And now the way that you watch your weight,
Richard Avedon, Richard Avedon would,
Richard Avedon would surely approve.
So much for your curb appeal.
So much for your three course meals.
'Cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again. Hey!
Well the torture of the Van Wyk Expressway at 5pm on friday gives you some idea of how rejection makes me feel.
Well you are a Gardenia,
You are a gardenia.
