lyrics

i shocked myself this morning
on a lightbulb i was unscrewing
my arm was someone else’s
for a fraction of a second

in the fixture little bugs lay
and i washed them out of their luminous grave
but then the light was much too bright
and i gave them a second mourning

last night you were in my dream
you were you
and i was me
then you were Alex Trebek
and i was still me

then there was a sex part
i stole either yours or Alex’s heart
but goodness knows
i hope it was you
and i hope it was me
i hope it was you
and i hope it was me

i flossed my teeth for the first time this morning
after hearing a very scary orthodontist’s warning
i watched Three's Company until you called me
but you never called me

when will we go
when will we go out?
i’ll go to your show
go to your show
and give you a chance
and then a second chance
and we’ll wake up in the morning

last night you were in my dream
you were you
and i was me
then you were Alex Trebek
and i was still me

then there was a good sex part
i stole either yours or Alex’s heart
but goodness knows
i hope it was you
i hope it was you
and i hope it was me
