Let's Get Oedipal!! Lyrics

Maybe I'll be what I'm supposed to someday

Maybe I'll learn to keep myself at bay

Maybe I'll lock myself into a cage

Until I settle down and act my age

Maybe I will learn to draw, upon

The strength that I've had all, all along

But lord knows I can't do it on my own

And if there's gonna be a, another me

I need somebody to, to mother me

And I don't mean to put you on a pedestal

But I wanna be better baby

So let's get oedipal

It's gonna take a village, it's gonna take a town

I'm speeding like a bullet can you help me turn around

I've climbed so many mountains and I've swam across the sea

But I can't close the gap between myself and me

It's gonna take a hero it's gonna be a war

The kind where you don't dwell on what it is you're fighting for

It's a losing proposition

But I'm proposing it to you

I heard, you like a project

Looks good on paper baby, it works in concept

You're on the ground floor of an emerging scene

This bag of bones was once a beautiful machine

I, was lost, would you say I've been found

I know, you're off, will I see you around

And if I'm gonna be a, another me

I need somebody to, mother me

Get your hands dirty for me, roll up your sleeves

It'll take some work to pull a husband out of me

It's gonna take a village, it's gonna take a town

I'm speeding like a bullet can you help me turn around

I've climbed so many mountains and I've swam across the sea

But I can't close the gap between myself and me

It's gonna take a hero it's gonna be a war

The kind where you don't dwell on what it is you're fighting for

It's a losing proposition

But I'm proposing it to you

It's a losing proposition

But I'm proposing it to you
