Periphery Lyrics - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do - Fiona Apple

oh the periphery 

they throw good parties there 

those peripheral idiots 

always have a bite to bare 

bare it if you can 

if you really want to 

go to the periphery 

have them celebrate your name 

have them forge you a pedigree 

and then you'll be 

let to run the races lame 

run if you want 

if you think it's worth it 

a night with me 

cause i don't appreciate 

people who 

don't appreciate 

all that lovin musta been lacking something 

if i got bored tryin to figure you out 

you let me down 

i don't even like you anymore at all 

oh the periphery 

i lost another one there 

you found a prettier girl than me 

with a more even tempered air 

and if he wants her he should get her 

cause i think you think she's worth it 

or maybe they'll move from the periphery 

buy themselves their own plot of land 

and i care in a different capacity 

i'll just be 

hopin he makes a good family man 

and if he finds himself yearning 

for a stroll on the silly side 

nothing wrong as long as he's learning 

besides he can take it up with his brethren or with his bride 

just not with me 

cause i don't appreciate 

people who 

don't appreciate 

all that lovin musta been lacking something 

if i got bored tryin to figure you out 

you let me down 

i don't even like you anymore at all 

that lovin musta been lackin something 

if i got bored tryin to figure you out 

you let me down 

i don't even like you anymore at all 

oh the periphery 

oh the periphery 

oh the periphery 

oh the peripheries 

stay away? 

stay away? 

away? 

away?
