Pigeon Superstition

source
You tell me that you love me
But you run so hot and cold
You hug me then you shove me
I just can't get a hold

You swear to God you need me
And then you walk away
You never wanna see me
Then you're beggin' me to stay

You're random with affection
I just can't seem to score
It's pigeon superstition
Keeps me pecking for more

You say that I'm so special
That no one else will do
But then I find your texts
with all the girls you wanna screw

You plead with me to keep you
You need me by your side
But I can't help from feelin'
I'm being taken for ride

You love me then ignore me
It's paradise or hell
It's pigeon superstition
and it's workin' so well

I love you and I hate you
You got me in a rage
It's pigeon superstition
and I'm stuck in the cage.

Uterine Blues

Well, I woke up this mornin'
Felt something out of place
I looked in the mirror
Checked my hair and my face
I walked into the kitchen
to start off my day
when, I swear, I felt my uterus
had wandered away!

I've got a wandering womb
Oh yeah, I've got a wandering womb
And a womb that's off to wander
Well, that ain't no good
I'm thinking that my uterus
is misunderstood.

Well, I hurried to the doctor
to get me a cure
The doc, he said, don't worry
He had seen this before
What troubles you, my lady
is quite easy to see
Hysteria we call it
Now just leave it to me...

Oh no! I've got a wandering womb
Dear me, I've got a wandering womb
And a womb that's off to wander
Well, that's really sick
Gotta get my uterus back home
real quick!

Now I was really feelin' anxious
I was a mess
The doctor claimed the cure, it lay
under my dress!
He took a pair of gloves
from the top of his shelf
"No thanks," I told him quickly
"I will do it myself!"

I've got a wandering womb
Oh yeah, still got a wandering womb
And a womb that's off to wander
Ain't really a plight
'Cause now my uterus and I
are feelin' all right!
