Lollipop (Ode to Jim)

Saw Jim Reid in the corridor

And I wondered if he could ever see me that way

He was on my list at the grocer store

When you grabbed my wrist and said you liked my keychain

Read your feature in the weekly paper

And honestly I found it a little bit bloated

Friday we fell through the coffee table

And that's when I discovered that my heart exploded

How

How

You're a lollipop

In the form of a lightning bolt

You're a lollipop in my hair

But I'm a gumdrop

Am I ever gonna fit that mould?

Because I don't have the patience to wait in line for you

When I came back to apologize

You asked me if I was intrigued by LSD

I sat next to you on the picnic bench

And before I knew it you were flying next to me

I met your baby at the exposition

And frankly I found it a little unnerving

I let you know that we were driving home

And all I can remember is the fact that we're swerving

Lollipop

In the form of a lightning bolt

You're a lollipop in my hair

But you're a doorstop

When you're lying on the bathroom floor

And I don't have the time to wait in line for you

(How could I ever betray you?)

Alter my state to get through this date

(You're alone in this picture)

(And it swallows me whole)

Alter my state to get through this date

(You're alone in this picture)

(And it swallows me whole)

Alter my state to get through this date

(You're alone in this picture)

(And it swallows me whole)

Alter my state to get through this date

(You're alone in this picture)

Alter my state to get through this date

You're a lollipop

In the form of a lightning bolt

(How could I ever obtain you?)

You're a lollipop in my hair

(How could I ever betray you?)

You look like Iggy Pop

Circa '73 or '4

(How could I ever obtain you?)

Because I don't have the time to wait in line for you

(How could I ever betray you?)

For you

Wait for you
