Family Farm
St. Catherine's was a nightmare
You know they took away my headphones
Sure they let you keep your handset
But the courtyard is a dead zone
And the nurse that they assigned me had Eruption as her ring tone
Blasting out through built in speakers like it's bug spray
Buzzing like a hornet halfway blown
If you're still in Pennsylvania
I'd advise you not to leave
Take some nickels from the fountain
Make your friends and fall asleep
Let your sins be of omission
I wish you wouldn't engage with all these creeps
Because they're never going to love you that
one specific way that you want them all to love you
The way you want them to love you
With a flexible schedule and a willingness to trade your medications
The way you want them to love you
Obsessive and controlling and coming up on total suffocation
She came into the cantina singing This Must Be The Place
Said faithful has its limits I just want to see his face
Before she took her shot she said a little grace
Said Lord grant me the power to stop these hands from shaking
I'd been falling in the fountain since a week or so before
I'd been rattled by the accident
My shoulders were still sore
I almost rolled my eyes when they asked me how to score
But sometimes it feels sweet to be the teacher
When she was combing through the carpet I could not resist her charms
She brought me to a fortress she called the family farm
Out along the towers there were guards with heavy arms
I guess there was some tension with the neighbors
Tripping at the airstrip
Drinking on the runway
Laughing at the jets as we watched them fly away
She said you get what you get when you push too far ahead
They put us in these places for a reason
The way you want them to love you
Shaking your head with resignation masquerading as wisdom
Leaning on the lamp post just jangling the keys to the kingdom
Listing in the lobby of a hotel on the highway
Not sure you even want to be rescued
Because they're never going to love you that
one specific way that you want them all to love you
And you want them all to love you
You know they took away my headphones
Sure they let you keep your handset
But the courtyard is a dead zone
And the nurse that they assigned me had Eruption as her ring tone
Blasting out through built in speakers like it's bug spray
Buzzing like a hornet halfway blown
If you're still in Pennsylvania
I'd advise you not to leave
Take some nickels from the fountain
Make your friends and fall asleep
Let your sins be of omission
I wish you wouldn't engage with all these creeps
Because they're never going to love you that
one specific way that you want them all to love you
The way you want them to love you
With a flexible schedule and a willingness to trade your medications
The way you want them to love you
Obsessive and controlling and coming up on total suffocation
She came into the cantina singing This Must Be The Place
Said faithful has its limits I just want to see his face
Before she took her shot she said a little grace

Because they're never going to love you that
one specific way that you want them all to love you
And you want them all to love you
