song lyrics

extraordinary
By Liz Phair

You think that I go home at night
Take off my clothes, turn out the lights
But I burn letters that I write
To you, to make you love me

Yeah, I drive naked through the park
And run the stop sign in the dark
Stand in the street, yell out my heart
To make, to make you love me

I am extraordinary,
if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary,
I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho

You may not believe in me
But I believe in you
So I still take the trash out
Does that make me too normal for you?
So dig a little deeper, cause
You still don't get it yet
See me lickin' my lips, need a primitive fix
And I'll make, I'll make you love me

I am extraordinary,
if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary,
I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess

See me jump through hoops for you
You stand there watching me performing
What exactly do you do?
Have you ever thought it's you that's boring?
Who the hell are you?

I am extraordinary,
if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary,
I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
SupergoddessA
Average every day sane psycho

The Death of Paganini

A final taut string is
Harshly caressed
By an uncaring bow.
The symphony falls silent,
the maestro leaves
The stage.
The magic was never
Anything understood
By others
its leaving is lost
in the sound of music
no longer played
No encore in this elegy.
