Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Dragonfly Pie lyrics

Of all my stoned digressions Some have mutated into the truth Not a spoof You are the bold expression Of all your parent's loss Which you pause, there's no us Can't be what you ought to be Gotta be what you wanna be Take it with pride and like a dragonfly Dragonfly wants a piece of pie But he is so strung out Shake me off the knife because I want to go home Shake me off the knife because I want to go home Shake me off the knife because I want to go home Shake me off the knife because I want to go home Cursed to be named after jazz songs High school principal, show and tell Preach and yell Ghostly Iraqi Ghostly I turn out and go No more things No more lines Can't be what you wanna be Gotta be what you ought to be Take it with pride and like a dragonfly Dragonfly wants a piece of pie But he is so strung out Shake me off the knife because I want to go home Shake me off the knife because I want to go home Shake me off the knife because I want to go home Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
