  • She was part of the Air Force, I was part of the band
    I always used to bust into her hand
    In my, my, my imagination
    I was livin' my best life, livin' with my parents
    Way before the paying penance and verbal propellants
    And my, my, my cancellation
    Mm, yeah

    And I fell in love with a boy, it was kinda lame
    I was Rimbaud and he was Paul Verlaine
    In my, my, my imagination
    So many cringes and heroin binges
    I was comin' off the hinges, livin' on the fringes
    Of my, my, my imagination
    Oh, yeah

    Enough about me now
    "You gotta talk about the people, baby"
    (But that's kind of the idea)

    At home, somewhere I don't like
    Eating stuff off of motorbikes
    Coming to her lookalikes
    I can't get the language right
    Just tell me what's unladylike

    I know some Vaccinista tote bag chic baristas
    Sittin' east on their communista keisters
    Writin' about their ejaculations
    "I like my men like I like my coffee
    Full of soy milk and so sweet, it won't offend anybody"
    While staining the pages of the nation, oh, yeah

    A Xanax and a Newport
    "Well I take care of my kids", she said

    The worst inside of us begets
    That feeling on the internet
    It's like someone intended it
    (Like advertising cigarettes)
    A diamond in the rough begets
    The diamond with a scruff you get

    (One, two, three, four)

    Am I ironically woke? The butt of my joke?
    Or am I just some post-coke, average, skinny bloke
    Callin' his ego imagination?
    I've not picked up that in a thousand four hundred days
    And nine hours and sixteen minutes, babe
    It's kind of my daily iteration Writer/s: George Bedford Daniel, Jamie Squire, Matthew Healy
