Australia Lyrics - Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under - Amanda Palmer

I could do the dishes while talking on the phone 

i could ask you for an answer but you want to be alone 

I can never do the dishes a single dish at a time 

It's too much of a commitment so I close my eyes and fire 

I could calamine your insides 

I could wind them all around me I could 

tiptoe on a tightrope made of fear and looking down see 

all the people do they see me I can wave or 

I can carry all the silverware I'm holding that is 

Keeping me steady 

Or I could go to Australia 

And carry a bowie knife 

and wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side 

And learn card tricks and buy 

Everyone drinks and take boxing and write 

songs about my bowie knife

I could do these dishes I could try 

To do these dishes 

Time to decide 

I could make a cake 

My kitchen is small but I could clear the space 

I could write my name 

Cos practice makes perfect yes that's what they say 

I could rearrange my room and draw a bath and wash my wolf suit 

I could make a button out of plaster 

That said finished I could nail it in my closet 

To the right side of the lightswitch 

I could walk down to a restaurant and try drinking to forget it 

but then come home less afraid and then press it and press it

Or I could go to Australia 

carry a bowie knife 

and wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side 

And learn card tricks and buy 

Everyone drinks and take boxing and try 

Eating things only with chopsticks and write 

songs about my bowie knife 

I could do these dishes I could try 

To do these dishes 

I could try to do these dishes 

Time to decide 

or i could go to Australia 

And carry a bowie knife 

and wear my hair like Hepburn parted on the side 

and learn card tricks and physics and buy 

everyone drinks and take boxing and try 

eating things only with chopsticks and finally 

be like a person I think you'd like 

I could do these dishes I could try 

To do these dishes I could try to do these dishes 

Time to decide to do these dishes 

Time to DECIDE
