I go home all by myself
Since there are four birds on me
I have some natto at my house
You know what, I have glycogen
You know, the real surprise is those subway train tracks

You’re so lovely
I think I’ll praise you, since I have no redeeming qualities of my own
Those sure are lovely red bottoms
They’re kind of not really my style, I guess
You know, the real surprise is those sky blue curtains

Up inside my little brain there are narcotic substances
over and over over and over being excreted
And single-mindedly, I spit out the saliva
Totally private, totally private behavior, that’s what I was into

You know, the real surprise is those sky blue curtains

As the cheeks on my face get redder and redder
Your loud voice echoes in my ears, echoes in my ears
And with my eyes closed I single-mindedly
keep on dreaming, keep on dreaming that old private dream
Up inside my little brain there are narcotic substances
over and over over and over being excreted
And single-mindedly, I spit out the saliva
Totally private, totally private behavior, that’s what I was into
