Twin Peaks Lyrics
If I'd known all your ghosts
I never would have come so far
I spend too many hours
Wondering who you really are
Twin peaks and david lynch
Met on your couch at syracuse
Your sexual advances
Are unconvincing and untrue
(Unconvincing and untrue)
My lover's a carnivore
Her body's an ivory casing
This whimsy has put me to sleep
Why is everything a chore?
I'm too young to be defeated
Let's make fun at the video store
With blue velvet and other titles
And I can't believe you at all
So you can keep your holiday spirit
It belonged to both of us
It belonged to both of us
Now we need to redefine
Tell me where to draw the line
Close contact on the couch was fine
Tell me where to draw the line
I know things could be different
If I were older and less afraid
You don't have to make excuses
I'm already on my way
Twin peaks and david lynch
Met on your couch at syracuse
You're growing fainter
Your humor's getting sour too
I never would have come so far
I spend too many hours
Wondering who you really are
Met on your couch at syracuse
Your sexual advances
Are unconvincing and untrue
(Unconvincing and untrue)
Her body's an ivory casing
This whimsy has put me to sleep
I'm too young to be defeated
Let's make fun at the video store
With blue velvet and other titles
So you can keep your holiday spirit
It belonged to both of us
It belonged to both of us
Tell me where to draw the line
Close contact on the couch was fine
Tell me where to draw the line
If I were older and less afraid
You don't have to make excuses
I'm already on my way
Met on your couch at syracuse
You're growing fainter
Your humor's getting sour too

It sounds like it says "her body's an ivory casing". As for the second question mark, I'm completely unsure of what the word is haha.
Anyone else think this guy sounds an awful lot like Tim Kasher at times? Especially around the 'why is everything a chore...' section?
i don't think he sounds like tim kasher much in other songs, but i totally think that every time i listen to this one.

"meow" is the best part
It's like kind of yelling-singsong voice.
This song is wonderful though.
This song has a lot going for it- I think the story line is clear enough... the music has lots of energy and variety, from the chunky clean chords at the beginning to the Caribbean party-gone-out-of-bounds in the middle, and back again... a variety of emotions expressed in the singing... sentimentality, hope, frustration, disappointment, anger, wistfulness... and IMHO, a little micro-anthem in the very energized "I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE DEFEATED!"
it's definitely ivy casing. it says so on the record
"twin peaks and david lynch" - a reference/inspired by the television-show-later-made-into-a-movie created by David Lynch perhaps
