Album:

The Idler Wheel...

You made your major overtures
When you were a sure and orotund mutt
And I was still a dewy petal
Rather than a moribund slut


My love wrecked you
You packed to twirl your skirt at the palace
It hurt more than it ought to hurt
I went to work to cultivate a callous


And now I'm hard, too hard to know
I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no, no
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears coincide with the tow


How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left alone?


Oh, and I tried to love
And I can love the same man, in the same bed, in the same city
But not in the same room, it's a pity
But oh, it never bothered me before
Not until this guy, what a guy, oh God
What a good guy, and I
Can't even enjoy him 'cause I'm hard
Too hard to know


I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears coincide with the tow


How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
Alone
Alone
Alone


My ills are articulate
My woes are granular
The ants weigh more than the elephants
Nothing, nothing is manageable 
So, couldn't we skip the valedictories 
I can see a door there
Shut it and forget my number
'Cause I'm hard, too hard to know


I don't cry when I'm sad anymore
Tears calcify in my tummy
Fears coincide with the tow


How can I ask anyone to love me
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
When all I do is beg to be left
Alone
