lyrics

People say the word “weird" when they really mean "bad".
People say that I'm weird, do they mean that I'm bad?
(Sometimes) I think that I'm bad and I don't think that's weird
More accurate to say that I'm lazy and scared

Broad, vague, euphemistic
Go-to word so you need not be specific
Then there is the fabled "good weird"
Spice as antidote for the humdrum

People say David Lynch is weird, I don't think he's that good
People say The Residents are weird, I think they are that good

I tried to be weird once, when I was nine.
I ran around yelling "Oatmeal!", with Beth, at Shelly Ridge.
My mom told me it was really annoying,
So I stopped.

I met Becca when I was fifteen.
I rambled for forever about whatever.
I thought I was calm and clear.
She told Matt Hollenberg that I was weird.

At seventeen, Anna said
"People say he says weird things.
He does weird things.
I want to know why.
Why does he say weird things?
Why does he do weird things?
I want to go inside your head."
I said "That can be arranged."
Two weeks later she called
"It's not you, it's me."
Is that strange?
I'll answer that rhetorical question
Posed for rhyme's sake:
No, no it's not.
