The point of it all

There's so much emotion in her voice... Mmm... My favourite part is, "patterns layed out on the bed/with dozens of colours of thread/but you've got the needle/I guess that's the point of it all"

oh, what a noble, distinguished collection
of fine little friends you have made
hitting the tables without you again
"no, we'll wait, no, we promise we'll wait,"
and June makes these exellent sowing machines
out of common industrial waste
she spends a few months at a time on the couch
but she's safe, she wears shades, she wears shades

oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll
and you're aces for coming along, you're almost human after all
and you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends doesn't mean they'll call
they made the comment in jest
but you've got the needle
I guess that's the point of it all

maybe a week in the tropics would help
to remind you how good life can be
we propped you right up in a chair on the deck
with a beautiful view of the sea
but a couple weeks later we came back
and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
you had magically moved to the closet
eyes fixed on the place where the drier had been

oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll
and you're aces for coming along, you're almost human after all
why on earth would I keep you cropped up in here when you so love the fall?
patterns layed out on the bed
with dozens of colours of thread
but you've got the needle
I guess that's the point in the end

but it's better to waste your day watching
the scenerey change at a comatose rate
than to put yourself in it and turn into one
of those cigarette ads that you hate
but while you were sleeping, some men came around,
said they had some dementions to take
I'm not sure what they were talking about
but they sure made a mess of your face

but still, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll
and you're aces for coming along, you're almost human, even now
and just cause they call themselves experts, it doesn't mean sweet fuck all
and they've got the permanent press
and homes with a stable adress
and they've got excitement and life by the fistful
but you've got the needle
I guess that's the point of it all
