Lyrics
Museum
I went to the museum to look at the faces
but all I could decipher was hers
her name was anastasia
or that?s what her shirt said
she spoke in tongues and moved in curves
she said she was her own collective
she said she writes her own directives
I asked her for her number she said I don?t think so
could not believe that I had the nerve
and so society waits for me to behave
like a man in my prime
and I?m just fooling around
I?m nowhere to be found
I?m wasting your time
I went to see the doctor to speak of my problem
he told me I was out of my head
he gave me medication to help me to cope and
he told me it would make me better
he said that I was uncollected
he said that I was quite defective
and so society waits for me to behave
like a man in my prime
and I?m just fooling around
I?m nowhere to be found
I?m wasting your time
wasting your time
he said that I was unconnected
he said that I was quite infected
