Ruby Slippers

These burning halogen lights cause cancer in laboratory mice
I read that somewhere. You know, it could be true
Why don't you flip the switch so we can start our stupid fight?
In the dark you can picture me any way you want to

Come out from behind your razor blades
Try to be sensitive for a change
There's got to be more to life than sifting through this garbage
Through the blip that became the bombshell
I'm the woman that became your chick
But I don't need this
I'll scissors-paper-rock you for the kleenex

Nature doesn't abhor a vacuum just to hear itself suck
And that's why a fool like me
That's why a fool like me
That's why a chick like me always falls in love
With a jerk like you

You know you could get a tapeworm from running around barefoot in the grass like that
Yeah, well you could be arrested for singing all your slanderous lies
Hey, I try to tell the truth, just in little digestible pieces at a time
You call that the truth? That's not the truth, and that's why you'll never open your eyes

Don't march off half-cocked, love, next time
Don't fall down half-blind
You can still pretend you're a genius
But I know I'm a loser

Check out the innocent kids playing four-square
Under the sour streetlight
They're to young to know Judy Garland died in ruby slippers
But I'll tell you right now, I'm not gonna die in no ruby slippers

Well the heart abhors a vacuum my ma used to say
And that's why a fool like me
That's why a fool like me
That's why a jerk like me always runs away
