lyrics

Your hemline’s been creepin’ since early spring
Don’t think for a moment your fanbase don’t know this
Another inch will incite a local uprising
I cringe as they jockey, you’re pretending not to notice

I’m drawn to sleepers and odd foreign films
Dusty cult classics that lost all their luster
But now I’m in a role that I never thought I’d fill
I’m in love with a big budget blockbuster

So I wait and interpret your stares in my favor
I seek bits of hope from your erratic behavior
I’m taking hints like a heavyweight might take hits
And I won’t stay down ‘til the ref is callin’ it quits

I script conversations, and write my next joke
Sensing my window is constantly shrinking
I read all your authors and memorized Sparknotes
All to impress you with the depth of my thinking

I reach the bar early, and preview the layout
Order your drink and strategically place it
Your suitors make a scene and I’m watchin’ it play out
You deflect affection with your magic golden bracelets

I ask awkward questions just to see you sweat
I gasp as a bead trickles down your neck
And despite rehearsal my joke is forgotten
And you’re on to the next guy you tighten a knot in
