Evelyn Evelyn Lyrics
Evelyn, Evelyn
why do we bother to stay?
why are you running away?
don't you feel like severing?
everything's just come together at last...
it's broken, I don't want to play!
we grew up,
closer than most...
closer than anything...
closer than anything...
shared our bed,
and wore the same clothes
talked about everything
spoke about so many things
what shall we wear tonight?
what shall we eat today?
can we go ice skating?
but we just did that yesterday...
should we be fireman?
can we be astronauts?
what if the find us?
they're not looking anyway...
Evelyn, Evelyn
why do we bother to stay?
why are you running away?
don't you feel like severing?
everything's just come together at last...
it's broken, I don't want to play!
fill my glass!
let's drink a toast!
this is our birthday...
so, why are we weeping?
at your side, I feel like a ghost...
I wake up first and I stare at you sleeping...
what shall we wear tonight?
what shall we eat today?
do you think I should marry him?
but we just met him yesterday...
should we be movie stars?
will we be millionaires?
I want to be famous!
they're watching us anyway...
Evelyn, Evelyn
why do we bother to stay?
why are you running away?
don't you feel like severing?
everything's just come together at last...
it's broken, I don't want to play!
we grew up,
so very close...
a parasite little host...
I'm only trying to do what is best for us!
well, I never asked for this! I never wanted this!
all that I want is some time to myself!
looking in your eyes, I'm coming home...
just get away from me!
please just stop touching me!
you're always trying to be somebody else!
now I realize I'm not alone...
well, you're only scared of me!
but you never cared for me!
why don't you let me breathe?
cause you never dare to be!
cause you never listen, and you're always insisting on just reminiscing I feel something missing!
I just want my privacy... why won't you leave me alone?
I just want you here with me... god, can't you just get along?

The last line Amanda Palmer sings before repeating Evelyn Evelyn isn't "God, can't you just get a loan" it's actually "God, can't we just get along?"
One word:
Whoa.
Whoa what????
Whoa what????
Amazing song.
