Ruby Slippers

These burning halogen lights cause
cancer in laboratory mice
I read that somewhere, you know it could be true
Why don’t you flip the switch
so we can start our stupid fight?
In the dark you can picture me any way you want to

Come out from behind your razor blades
and try to be sensitive for a change
There’s got to be more to life
than sifting through this garbage
You’re the blip that became the bombshell
I’m the woman who became your chick
But I don’t need this
I’ll scissors-paper-rock you for the Kleenex

Nature doesn’t abhor a vacuum
just to hear itself suck
and that’s why a fool like me,
that’s why a chick like me
always falls in love (with a jerk like you)

You know you could get a tapeworm
from running around barefoot in the grass like that?
Well, you could get arrested
for singing all of your slanderous lies
I try to tell the truth, just in little
digestible pieces at a time
You call that the truth? That’s not the truth
and that’s why you can never open your eyes

Don’t march off half-cocked, love
Next time, don’t fall down, half-blind
You can still pretend you’re a genius
but I know, I’m a loser
Check out the innocent kids
playing four-square under the sour streetlight
They’re too young to know
Judy Garland died in ruby slippers

The heart abhors a vacuum,
my Ma used to say
And that’s why a fool like me,
yes, that’s why a jerk like me
always runs away
