Too Much Sleep

0

- I, I know everyone makes fun of my voice, but, uhm, like, that's okay, 'cause I got a really good body
- Me too, I mean, I can relate to what you're saying, y'know?
Met him in London and, uhm, he liked to party, and I liked to party, so, y'know-
- Me too
- Make that three
- Yeah, and um-
- I've seen you party
- Well, the fact that he could play an instrument had a lot to do with it
- Oh, he's the greatest guitarist, really, one of the greatest
- He's talented!
Talent is a vampire
Talent is a vampire
Talent is a vampire
Talent is a whore
Talent is American, always wanting more
That which doesn't kill moves grist for the mill
Talent is so sexy
Talent is so bright
Talent is always moving forever towards the light
That which doesn't kill moves grist for the mill
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent is a vampire
Talent is a whore
Talent is American, always wanting more
That which doesn't kill moves grist for the mill
Talent is so sexy
Talent is so bright
Talent is always moving forever towards the light
That which doesn't kill moves grist for the mill
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
Talent made me love you
Talent made me lie
Talent comes uninvited and leaves you alone to die
- Well, I took a lotta lessons when I was a kid, y'know-
- Oh, you do?
- Horseback riding, tap-dancing, piano, guitar...
- Typical suburban childhood
- Yoga...
- And, but I just never had the, uh, natural flair
- Well you had other talents, we all have other talents
- I just wanted someone to give me a pill so I could play like Jimmy Page!
- Tell me about it!
- But I mean, it's about conversation too-
- It has everything to do with talent
- But it's about friendship, and, um, y'know
- I just think talent is very attractive
- Sexy
- Basically!
- Food combinations, the right proteins, the right carbohydrates-
- Well, he invited me, actually his assistant- who's like a real fuckin' bitch, y'know?
- Oh, I hate her, I hate her so much!
- Oh, I've got a story about her and I'd like to, uh...
- ...If he wanted me to come to his birthday party, or if she found my name, like, hangin' around or whatever, I thought that I was gonna go, and...
- Don't even tell me what's gonna happen. Because I know, I know the ending to the story. Listen to this!
- Well, you know, he's, um
- His arm hurts, from a skiing accident! Can you believe that? He doesn't even ski!
- The party, you know, it was all in the papers, and it just made me feel really... cheap
- You are cheap! We're all cheap! Cheap, and I love him
- But, y'know, I get that all the time, but I don't care
- I mean, I really love him. But he's got a wife, and, y'know, baby...
- ...And then he just called in the middle of the night and expected to come over! Y'know, and I'll let him...
- Yeah! Me too!
- ...Y'know, think, about the future, I don't like, to think about the future but I think sometimes I better think about the future, y'know what I'm saying?
- He's so talented
- Hey, you got any cigarettes? I'm out
- Menthol?
- No, I don't like those, gimme a non-filter, right there-
- He took me to dinner, a really nice dinner
- Oh, please, and then he asked you, "Do you wanna have an affair with me?" He said that to me too. He's cute. He's bald! You don't need hair, honey
- And short hair can be attractive, it really can, and, um, because it's, y'know...
- They blew them off the stage, just blew them off the stage
- No body fat, no body fat
- Oh, no fat, I hate fat, I hate that fat!
- Listen, don't talk- don't talk about fat around me...
