Lyrics
An articulate girl
she looks down on the world
she says i don't wanna be here
she gives me 26 pills
to pay all of her bills
but i don't wanna be here
but you know i'd follow her over this wheel
and i'm taller than she makes me feel
but please don't, please don't
take her away
cause i've got 26 more pills on the way
I found all that i lost
i moved out of this house
an into an apartment
but now i sit and i stare
from this butterfly chair
i'm back to where i started
(repeat chorus)
An articulate girl
she looks down on the world
she says I don't wanna be here
she gives me 26 pills
she gives all of my thrills
still, i don't wanna be here
