Dragonfly Pie Songtext

von Stephen Malkmus

Of all my stoned digressions,
Some have mutated into the truth,
Not a spoof
You are the bold expression
Of all your parent's loss
Which you pause, there's no us

Can't be what you ought to be,
Gotta be what you wanna be
Take it with pride and like a dragonfly
Dragonfly wants a piece of pie
But he is so strung out
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home

Cursed to be named after jazz songs
High school principal, show and tell

Preach and yell
Ghostly Iraqi
Ghostly I turn out and go
No more things
No more lines

Can't be what you wanna be,
Gotta be what you ought to be
Take it with pride and like a dragonfly
Dragonfly wants a piece of pie
But he is so strung out
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
Shake me off the knife because I want to go home
