Lydia’s Song

I hung my Barbie with a wire
Then I set her hair on fire
Hey
She looked better that way

Brought her carcass to class to keep me company
A move which was apparently
Not cool
Now I don’t go to that school

I don’t crave acceptance
Don’t want chats on the phone
I like studying bugs
No I don’t want your hugs
Please just leave me alone

For I am a strange and unusual girl
I am a strange and unusual girl
And I need a place where
I show my face and
Strangers don’t tell me to smile

Where I can be weird
Where unique is not feared
A place where a girl
Can just be herself for a while

You need a pill, you need a bed
That’s what they say when Mommy’s dead
Oh whoa, they just don’t even know

I’m sad my mother died for sure
But I was so this way before
It’s dumb
Just let me be numb

I despise Justin Bieber
Vincent Price is okay
I don’t like other people
My heart is a steeple
I’m fine I’m that way

For I am a strange and unusual girl
I am a strange and unusual girl
And I need a place where
I show my face and
Strangers don’t tell me to smile

Where I can be weird
Where unique is not feared
A place where a girl
Can just be herself for a while

Is that place really far, Mom?
Is that place where you are, Mom?
Is there room there for me?
Room where we both can be

Strange and unusual girls
A place for the strange and unusual girls
And we’ll be together there in the nether
Laughing as death knells sweetly chime

Off on a range
Where they won’t make me change
Where I can be strangely and unusually myself
For all ti-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ime
