Scenes from Bensonhurst Lyrics by Eleanor Friedberger

Last Summer

2011

My honey knows the best sleeping spots
While I get lost at the roundabout
And I get lost at the smell of those horses
Who do people tell you that you look like?

Someone from my past, an actor who I don't like
I lay in bed and dreamt I never said that
I lay in bed and tempt myself with my screen, my screen, my screen
Next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox

He shaved off his beard and saw The Girl Who Played With Fire
Well, being a mannequin was all I could manage
Seeing the opposite side was all that I could wrangle that day
Scenes From Bensonhurst against the wall

He's gonna bawl when he sees this
His mom went blind with a third baby
Oh shit, that's crazy
I lay in bed and dreamt I never said that
I lay in bed and tempt myself with my screen, my screen, my screen
Next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox

He gambled away his savings with just his shirt
Money for clothes/cigarettes and he sold the place in SF
He believes in numbers or nothing at all
And how could he be so impressed with such a little fall?

And his intuition told him that they'd be married someday
He lies in bed and tempts himself with his screen, his screen, his screen
I lay in bed and dreamt I never said that
I lay in bed and tempt myself with my screen, my screen, my screen
Next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox
Next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox
Ooh next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox
