Nabokov
Pry open my eyes lay me in my seat
You kept me up last night sharpening your teeth
You've said it three times though you may have to repeat
The thesis on my life and all I've failed to meet
Though it never meant much to me
I can sit and fake it
Your point of view is hard to see
And your reason is a snake pit
But did you hear about the latest show?
They named their band after that novel
The singer has a baritone
Oh take me take me take me
I'm tired of living on my own
And lately I've been seeing double
What's wrong with Nabokov?
I think you may have missed a metaphor
Back to that cold night not to bring up the weather
The first time we kissed I'm surprised we didn't stick together
To think now even sharing a room is a serious endeavor
If only I were born a cat in particular a Cheshire
Yes I hear the words coming out of my mouth
Somebody break my nose
I sort of like it when you brood and pout
A tiny dictator to depose
And I won't say that you're a bore
Though my attention's fading
You're not a reliable narrator
And Humbert Humbert says he's lost
Still I cannot ignore
Your curls and smile I find so charming
Slither underneath my door
And I'll forget the things I said I would not do
If it's alright with you
And did you hear about the latest show?
They named their band after some novel
The singer has a baritone
Oh spare me spare me spare me
I'm tired of living on my own
Though lately I think it's worth the trouble
I was certain now I'm unsure
And chewing my tongue is not part of my purview
And it's all because of you
You kept me up last night sharpening your teeth
You've said it three times though you may have to repeat
The thesis on my life and all I've failed to meet
Though it never meant much to me
I can sit and fake it
Your point of view is hard to see
And your reason is a snake pit
But did you hear about the latest show?
They named their band after that novel
The singer has a baritone
Oh take me take me take me
I'm tired of living on my own
And lately I've been seeing double
What's wrong with Nabokov?
I think you may have missed a metaphor
Back to that cold night not to bring up the weather
The first time we kissed I'm surprised we didn't stick together
To think now even sharing a room is a serious endeavor
If only I were born a cat in particular a Cheshire
Yes I hear the words coming out of my mouth
Somebody break my nose
I sort of like it when you brood and pout

And chewing my tongue is not part of my purview
And it's all because of you
