Plum Lyrics

She talks to me when you're not looking;
She says, "Hello." I say, "Hi, cutie."
And you turn to leave, you're feelin' moody
But, she shakes when she waves bye to me...
I beg you to come back by Tuesday;
You say, "OK, if you buy me a ruby."
And as you stare at your new jewelry
I stand behind you, I say, "Hi, booty."

Lord, why'd you give that girl a Gorilla bump, and make it the shape of a plum?
Don't tell me how to hold my nuclear bomb 'til you've resisted the urge to love one...

Plum Tree Vocal:
What have you done to her?
She was once a lady, now she's unmanageable...
I took her for a walk down Gettysburg;
Once engineered for love, now she's a rebel...

Return to Chorus:
Lord, why'd you put that girl an aquarium? Now she's easy to see – hard to touch;
I can only look through my camera - like a tourist, I'm star struck...

I reach for you every day, walk with you as you sway to the shower;
I'm addicted to you - you're too pretty to abuse your pretty powers...

Lord, why'd you give that girl a Gorilla bump, and make it the shape of a plum?
Don't tell me how to hold my nuclear bomb 'til you've resisted the urge to love one...
(Lord, why'd you put that girl an aquarium?) Now she's easy to see – hard to touch;
(I can only look through my camera) - like a tourist, I'm star struck...

'Woods & Lollipops'
The fortunate woodsman steadied his scope
Just as she emerged from the hot shower
He thought of a wet lollipop
The sun had to squeeze around her – her silhouette was cropped
Her body – whether in clothes or naked – looks like a sculpture ready for war
Does this point to some instability? That he wants to give character to every part of her?
