My Dead Girl Lyrics - Foil Deer - Speedy Ortiz

[Verse 1] 

Better yet, better get jealous of what didn't get your name 

Better you fake the truth 

I tried to buy an aluminum toy from the booth outside the dojo 

With a ten buck coin from your old drawer 

Don't even know what you've been up to 

Since the time you said I never saw the real you 

Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie 

I got you, but if you ever saw me 

[Chorus] 

I go riding in cars but I'm not the driver 

Riding in cars, now I'm the bad girl you wanted 

[Verse 2] 

Pull the shades. Make the call. Get the feds crawling through the lawn 

I got smoke in my iris 

Backwater acid bath for riddle-rousing cowards 

Better me than you've ever seen 

Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie 

If these are my last words, guess you found me 

[Chorus] 

I go riding in cars but I'm not the driver 

Riding in cars, now I'm the dead girl you wanted 

[Bridge] 

Don't even know what you've been up to 

And the me that you knew, that was some other me 

Brain like a sphinx but got nails like a prom queen 

Stay on the bleachers, from there you can watch me 

[Chorus] 

Go riding in cars, but I'm not the driver 

Riding in cars, more like the dead girl you wanted 

Riding in cars and you're not the driver 

Forever and overly gone
