[00:01.12]Amanda Palmer - The Point of It All
[00:08.10]
[00:16.01]
[00:20.35]Oh, what a noble, distinguished collection
[00:24.72]of fine little friends you have made
[00:29.50]Hitting the tables without you again:
[00:33.12]"No, we'll wait, no, we promise, we'll wait"
[00:38.42]June makes these excellent sewing machines
[00:42.79]out of common industrial waste
[00:47.72]She spends a few days at a time on the couch,
[00:52.28]but she's safe
[00:53.32]she wears shades, she wears shades
[00:56.66]
[00:56.88]Oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you,
[01:03.77]my babydoll
[01:07.22]And you're aces for coming along
[01:11.84]You're almost human, after all
[01:17.36]And you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends
[01:23.34]Doesn't meant they'll call
[01:27.22]
[01:30.26]They made the comment in jest
[01:35.18]But you've got the needle
[01:38.19]I guess that's the point of it all
[01:42.19]
[01:49.75]Maybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you
[01:55.59]how nice life can be
[01:58.75]We propped you right up in a chair on a deck
[02:03.12]with a beautiful view of the sea
[02:08.09]But a couple weeks later we came back
[02:11.64]and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
[02:17.13]You had magically moved to the closet
[02:21.10]Eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had been
[02:26.20]
[02:26.81]Oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you,
[02:33.52]my babydoll
[02:36.73]And you're aces for coming along
[02:41.26]You're almost human, after all
[02:46.56]Why on earth would I keep you propped up in here
[02:51.21]when you so love the fall?
[02:58.61]
[02:59.85]The pattern's laid out on the bed
[03:04.42]With dozens of colors of thread
[03:09.64]But you've got the needle
[03:12.64]I guess that's the point in the end
[03:16.73]
[03:33.17]It's better to waste your day
[03:36.15]watching the scenery change at a comatose rate
[03:42.90]Than to put yourself in it and turn
[03:46.41]into one of those cigarette ads that you hate
[03:52.91]But while you were sleeping some men came around
[03:58.47]Said they had some dimensions to take
[04:03.38]I'm not sure what they were talking about
[04:07.50]but they sure made a mess of your face
[04:12.08]
[04:12.51]But still, no one can stare at the wall as good as you,
[04:19.57]my babydoll
[04:23.30]And you're aces for playing along
[04:27.57]You're almost human, even now
[04:33.32]
[04:34.30]And just 'cause they call themselves experts
[04:38.47]It doesn't mean sweet fuck all
[04:46.04]They've got the permanent press
[04:52.53]Homes with a stable address
[04:56.85]
[04:58.01]And they've got excitement
[05:01.31]And life by the fistful
[05:05.34]But you've got the needle
[05:09.68]I guess that's the point of it all
[05:22.76]
