In an existential quandry - in an existential quandry
Airing dirty mental laundry - airing dirty mental laundry
I don't know what, but I'm learning - but he is learning
And I don't give a damn what the bastards want
Miriam your toast is burning

Turn away from the blurry picture - turn away from the blurry picture
While you wrestle with TV scripture - while you wrestle with TV scripture,
right!
Right, if you're not too discerning - not too discerning
And you don't give a damn what the little girls want
Miriam your toast is burning

Stop staring I can read the lines
And don't flash back at me like a one way warning sign
You reach your passion on the second look
You've got a life like the title of a drugstore dirtybook that says

I can seperate fact from fiction - he can seperate fact from fiction
I believe in contradiction - no you don't - yes I do
and if you're not too discerning - not too discerning
And you don't give a damn what anybody wants
Miriam your toast is burning
Miriam your toast's on fire

I can seperate fact from fiction - he can seperate fact from fiction
I remember Richard Nixon - he remembers who?
Like him if you're not too discerning - not too discerning
And you don't give a damn what the bastards want
Miriam your toast is burning
Miriam your toast is done.
