lyrics

Give me a room and send me a bill
And I'll talk out loud for hours
Or send me along and I'll wish very loud
And I'm giving you the decision
And I want you to laugh with vision
And I know you will have permission
And I know you will laugh at me but know that

I want to be your Yoko Ono I want to be your plastic bag yeah
To hell with Superman I just want to follow you around and
I want to be a fantastic freak

In a moment you'd guess my mission
But it won't make it less perdition
And I want to confess my coup de foudre
And now I'm carrying a phone so you won't be allowed out of my jurisdiction
But there's no need to call with me hovering around
And I want to relay my position
I want a part to create fruition
Though I may be too late you need to know that

I want to be your red banana I want to be your passion fruit
To hell with common sense restraint or moderation
I want to be a fantastic freak

When she said her goodbye oh how was she to know
But I guess I really drove it home when I refused to let her go
Outside the door I'll wait for the police to come and call me home
But even as I turn to go I'll throw another lonely rock at your window
Though everything's disposable
You can't just dispose of a perfect freak

And I want to collapse with vision
I want to meet my other half with collision
And I know you will laugh at me but know that

I want to be your sole protectorate I want to be your fascist pig yeah
To hell with Superman pan band and the rich bananas
I want to be a fantastic freak
