Diary Songtext
von Shrug

How do you do, I am a lost boy
I was sent for you to enjoy
My brain is tasty ′cause I like to read
My body's honey-fed and set to bleed
Show no mercy, I don′t need it

How do you do, this is the worst case
Scenario, this is the last place
You wanna go, don't wanna lose face
My charter member of the rat race
Show no mercy, not yet anyway, hey

I don't want to show up in your poetry
Your dirty mind or dirtier dreams
I can see where this is heading
And I suspect that all you really want from me
Is kindling for your diary


I was alive in the seventies
Grew up with Muskrat Love and Baby Tease
Star Wars was cool, but damn it, won′t you please
Save me from my disco miseries?
You can′t make me shake nothing, no, no, no, no

I don't want to show up in your poetry
Your dirty mind or dirtier dreams
I can see where this is heading
And I suspect that all you really want from me
Is kindling for your diary

What you, were you, when you, why you
Won′t you let me slide right by you?
What you, were you, when you, why you
Why won't you let me slide right by you?
What you, were you, when you, why you
Why won′t you let me slide right by you?
What you, were you, when you, would you
Why won't you let me slide right by you?
Won′t you let me slide right by you?
Slide right by you, yeah


I don't want to show up in your poetry
Your dirty mind or dirtier dreams
I can see where this is heading
And I suspect that all you really want from me
Is kindling for your diary
