lyrics
Boring Boy
Boring boy,
Never picking up the phone,
to call and say that you’re stuck at home alone.
Reading a business rag,
knee deep in vials and electrostatics,
Bet your voice is like a cold plate of salmon.
Do you think of me?
Do you need some chemistry?
Are those innuendos when you speak?
Do they harbor curiosity?
Boring, boring boy.
Boring boy,
look the places that you roam.
Four bare walls bathed in monitor screen glow.
Forwarding messages to some dick on Staten Isle
My Midwest soda heart cooling idly dorm room style.
Do you think of me?
d\Do you need some chemistry,
Are those innuendos when we speak? Do they harbor curiosity?
Boring boy
Boring boy,
oh the places that you’ll go.
The ribbons cut,
And all those speeches long.
Maybe our paths will cross,
our names written in the same publication.
Maybe at some spa if you’re ordered on vacation.
Please don’t think of me, I can’t stand the irony,
but if you want to change your key you’ll stop right now and wink at me.
Boring Boring boy.
Never picking up the phone.
Oh the places that you roam.
Boring boy.
Boring boy,
Never picking up the phone,
to call and say that you’re stuck at home alone.
Reading a business rag,
knee deep in vials and electrostatics,
Bet your voice is like a cold plate of salmon.
Do you think of me?
Do you need some chemistry?
Are those innuendos when you speak?
Do they harbor curiosity?
Boring, boring boy.
Boring boy,
look the places that you roam.
Four bare walls bathed in monitor screen glow.
Forwarding messages to some dick on Staten Isle
My Midwest soda heart cooling idly dorm room style.
Do you think of me?
d\Do you need some chemistry,
Are those innuendos when we speak? Do they harbor curiosity?
Boring boy
Boring boy,
oh the places that you’ll go.
The ribbons cut,
And all those speeches long.
Maybe our paths will cross,
our names written in the same publication.
Maybe at some spa if you’re ordered on vacation.
Please don’t think of me, I can’t stand the irony,
but if you want to change your key you’ll stop right now and wink at me.
Boring Boring boy.
Never picking up the phone.
Oh the places that you roam.
Boring boy.
