Stephen Malkmus Dragonfly Pie Lyrics

Of all my stoned digressions
Some have mutated into the truth
Not a spoof
You are the bold expression
Of all your parent's laws
Makes you part, there's no art

Can't be what you ought to be,
Got to be what you want to be
Take it with pride and like a dragonfly
Dragonfly wants a piece of pie,
But he is so strung out

Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home

Cursed to be named after jazz songs
High School principal
Show and tell
Preach and yell
Ghostly iraqian starship
Ghostly itena Van Gogh
No more lying no more line

Can't be what you want to be
Got to be what you ought to be
Take it with pride and like a dragonfly
Dragonfly wants a piece of pie
He is so strung out

Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
