Does Turquoise Work? Lyrics - New View - Eleanor Friedberger

I heard him say, "I'd rather hurt myself than let you hurt me" 

Was he talking about me 

I heard him say, "I've been trying to sleep fourteen hours a day" 

Was he talking about her 

She was girl 

So blonde 

Does turquoise work 

It never fails 

Cross his name off the list 

'Cause colors, who needs 'em 

Look in the top drawer but quiet, don't think 

The ugly picture was up for eight minutes today 

The complete idiot was Lord for an hour

There was crystal deception at the disappointing picnic 

The new dawn serves as memory loss meters 

The shapes in the road were remedies for last week's mistakes 

I used his foot as a phone and said something, something — no, never mind — nothing
