Straight Lines Lyrics - Thea Gilmore

(one, two, three; two, two, three) 

There you go again 

Said, it?s too complicated to explain 

So sit me in my high chair 

And pat me on the head 

But I?ll be making lists 

Pounding the table with my fists 

Trying to apply every law I ever read 

See there?s just no telling 

The parts that we?ve been selling 

This is just like you 

To fake some cute stage for me 

While you?ve been trying to make believe 

In the little monster you conceived 

I?m havin? a hard time believing 

In anything much at all 

You and your straight lines 

You and your straight lines 

Always 

Well we all walk through those doors 

High hopes between the subclause 

We throw ourselves gladly into your little fishbowl 

It would take some persuasion 

About the strength of the equation 

Before it finally chalked up on just one more brick wall 

You and your straight lines 

You and your straight lines 

Always 

So here I am now 

Just another sacred cow 

Believe me your ?what if?s? will turn to ?if only?s? before long 

So tell me about ownership, boy 

Tell me about using lies as executive toys and 

Tell me, to who does this song belong 

You and your straight lines 

You and your straight lines 

Gonna sing along 

Gonna sing along 

I?m gonna sing along 

Yeah 

Oh, always
