lyrics

VS 1
You put on your favorite dress
I’ll pretend to be impressed
I didn’t even look up at you
I was taught when I was young
What to say to a woman

Run your fingers through my hair
Smile like you really care
Look at me and say you love me
But I can tell there’s nothing there but empty stairs

Hmmmm

Dressed up in our parents clothes
Blankets and a plastic stove
Pretending to be all grown up
But we’re not actually in love

VS 2
Wear the suit that I laid out
Run to catch the early train
I’m happy you’ll be gone all day
But I wish you’d stay away forever

But you get home at five past six
Dinner already fixed
We sit in silence
T.V. plays behind us
Is this what it really is?
Playing house

Heey oooh

Dressed up in our parents clothes
Blankets and a plastic stove
Pretending to be all grown up
But we’re not actually in love

Raw lyrics and somber themes are sweetened by pop beats, androgynous vocals, and sensuality inspired by the Minneapolis sound of the 80s and dance rock. His lyrics are introspective and observational, peering at the glamorous facades in society. ... more
