lyrics

I'm still smiling at you, and still you won't go
I stand retching in the storm of invitations
The night drips from your limacine lips
As they strive to expose my limitations

I've been dancing with you
And may I say
I don't need a fucking marionette to show me how
I guess I can't be saved
Unless I'm suffering

I wanted to be free
You let me
I don't want to be free
You let me
But I don't need a thing like you

I'm not unhappy
Just lavishly unrelaxed
And no amount of green tea is going to cure me
When it comes to medicine
I prefer a warning
One bottle, one twist, one bluish pill
Eyes shimmer
Fingers flicker
But the room stays still
It always will

I don't want to be free
Don't make me
Laugh at a thing like you
You will not make me free
No, baby
'Cuz I don't need a thing like you

I've been dancing with you
And may I say
I don't need a broken marionette to show me how
I don't need to be saved
'Cuz I'm not I'm suffering

I wanted to be free
You let me
But I don't need a thing like you
I don't want to be free
You let me
But I don't need a thing like you
You think you're really free
No, baby
You're still a thing like you
You want me to be free
So, baby
I'm free from a thing like you
We all want to be free
Oh don't we?
I want me to be free
Me let me
'Cuz I'm not a thing like you

The Casual Sexists Brooklyn, New York

Transatlantic couple Varrick and Ed Zed have been coaxing crooked pop songs out of disillusionment, animals and the glorious horrors of modern life since before Brexit. Drums, computers and household objects are their tools.
