Speedy Ortiz – My Dead Girl lyrics

[Verse 1]
Better yet, better get jealous of what didn’t get your name
Better you fake the truth
I tried to buy an aluminum toy from the booth outside the dojo
With a ten buck coin from your old drawer
Don’t even know what you’ve been up to
Since the time you said I never saw the real you
Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie
I got you, but if you ever saw me

[Chorus]
I go riding in cars but I’m not the driver
Riding in cars, now I’m the bad girl you wanted

[Verse 2]
Pull the shades. Make the call. Get the feds crawling through the lawn
I got smoke in my iris
Backwater acid bath for riddle-rousing cowards
Better me than you’ve ever seen
Brain like a sphinx and a vest like a townie
If these are my last words, guess you found me

[Chorus]
I go riding in cars but I’m not the driver
Riding in cars, now I’m the dead girl you wanted

[Bridge]
Don’t even know what you’ve been up to
And the me that you knew, that was some other me
Brain like a sphinx but got nails like a prom queen
Stay on the bleachers, from there you can watch me

[Chorus]
Go riding in cars, but I’m not the driver
Riding in cars, more like the dead girl you wanted
Riding in cars and you’re not the driver
Forever and overly gone
