*Talking*
|
I was in an argument with an ex-girlfriend, and...I said something about, like "a truest love" and she said "You're mistaken, my- my first truest love was with a...multiple-adjustable shower head" (laughter). I know, you follow me, but I'm like "...I'm drunk" (laughter).
|
|
I'm gonna sing this damn song right now (yeah you are). "Why Can't You Be"
|
|
*Singing*
|
Are you frightened by the weight you posses,
|
Or...is this life just weightlessness, and smoggy twilight in LA?
|
I can't think of one real thing to say.
|
And Robbie Williams is walking in the canyons
|
'Forgets that we were friends.
|
I guess it all depends on your mood.
|
Why can't these meds be any damn good?
|
And she said...
|
|
Why can't you be...like my waterpick shower massager?
|
A sweet, reliable machine.
|
And to tell the truth, I don't feel less alone
|
My water massager's the purest love...I've ever known.
|
|
Why can't you be...like when I was 13?
|
Why can't you be, like an art house foreign movie;
|
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
|
And aloof to me, and...
|
Why can't you be...a little more of a mystery?
|
Why can't you be, the part of me that's missing
|
Instead of leavin' me for some other?
|
'Said we're perfect for eachother.
|
And I know we won't go spend our lives...alone.
|
|
Why can't you be...like an outsource government contract?
|
I'm a fatcat, getting away with anything.
|
Kicking...some secret special powers
|
Alumination rounds in showers.
|
'Cause you're tearing your hair out
|
While we could have a bed of flowers.
|
And I said...
|
|
Why can't you be...like the chicks out on the road?
|
Some girls are happy, just to see me
|
'Cause you've got moxie, and a broken nose.
|
You take 'em away from this blows.
|
Sometimes a blowjob's not enough.
|
Why can't you play...a little less rough?
|
|
Why can't you be...the part of me that's missing
|
Instead of leavin' me for some other?
|
'Said we're perfect for eachother.
|
And I know we won't go spend our lives...alone.
|
|
Can we...just leave it be?
|
And we could live...our lives...seperately.
|
Could you forget...what happens to you...you and me?
|
And when we're dead...and we'll be dead...we'll have eternity.
|
And I will spend it all...missing you...missing you and me.
|
So all of a life...I will always be...
|
|
Why can't you be...lookin' a little deeper into me
|
Like JD...Salinger?
|
Why do I challenge her, in all these surface ways that you displease?
|
Why can't you be...a little more at ease?
|
Why can't you be...like a hand-rolled cigarette?
|
I'm not jokin'
|
This massocistic...self pity, of smoking.
|
And this silly ditty.
|
I...keep provoking you, to leave me.
|
|
She said...
|
Why can't you be...like a candle I can snuff?
|
You're still a diamond in the rough.
|
And I swear to god...I had enough.
|
How can I...call your bluff?
|
|
(Wild applause)
|
*Talking* Thank you.
