Gardenia Lyrics - Real Emotional Trash - Stephen Malkmus

I kinda like the way you dot your J's 

with giant circles of naivety 

the kind of circles include everything 

don't mean to damn you with the faintest praise 

it's just a symptom of the blithe age 

If Walt were living he would be amazed 

so you got some curb appeal 

but can you cook a 3 course meal 

or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again hey

they're operating at significant loss 

and now the way you watch your weight

Richard Avedon would surely approve 

so much for your curb appeal 

and so much for the 3 course meals 

cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again

well you are a gardenia
