Lyrics for Blank Slate
I was home entertaining guests, when I fell off the chair and cracked open my head Bees flew out, and they flew up their skirts Cause they wanted to travel the world I was home entertaining guests, when I fell off the chair and cracked open my head Bees flew out, and they flew up their skirts Cause they wanted to travel the world But I keep it upstairs Keep it upstairs for the grand finale I keep it upstairs Gonna be a blank slate Gonna wear a white cape But I keep it upstairs Gonna jump out of a cake with my heart on a string Keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs I go out looking in parked cars For somebody famous to kidnap and love Beat off the army with a tennis racket I go out looking in parked cars For somebody famous to kidnap and love Beat off the army with a tennis racket That's my whole plan But I keep it upstairs Keep it upstairs for the grand finale I keep it upstairs Gonna be a blank slate Gonna wear a white cape But I keep it upstairs Gonna tackle young girls off their beautiful bikes But I keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs I don't know what I thought I'd be by now My head is a buzzing three star hotel Oh no No no no no no no no no But I keep it upstairs Keep it upstairs for the grand finale I keep it upstairs Gonna be a blank slate Gonna wear a white cape But I keep it upstairs Gonna jump out of a cake with my heart on a string Keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs, keep it upstairs I don't know what I thought I'd be by now My head is a buzzing three star hotel Oh no No no no no no no no no Nowhere that I thought I'd be by now My head is a buzzing three star hotel Oh no No no no no no no no no
