Fake Palindromes
As recorded by Andrew Bird on the album The Mysterious Production of Eggs
Andrew Bird is an amazing singer/songwriter out of Chicago. He is a one-man orchestra,
playing multiple instruments during each song, looping samples of each to build songs.
He is amazing live, putting on his entire show with just one person, Kevin O'Donnel,
who plays drums and keyboards simultaneously.

Chorus
she's got red lipstick
and a brown pair of shoes
and she's got knee high socks
what to cover a bruise
she's got an old death kit
she's been meaning to use she's got
blood in her eyes in her eyes for you
she's got blood in her eyes for you
Verse 2
certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads
run you hot and cold like a rheostat I mean a thermostat
so you bite on a towel
hope it won't hurt too bad
Repeat 1st part of Verse 1 (my dewey eyed...)
Chorus 2
she says I like long walks and sci-fi movies
you're six foot tall and east coast bred
some lonely night we can get together
and I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
and drill a tiny hole into your head
oh, I'm gonna drill a tiny hooooooole... into your head
"Are you living or existing?"
