On the Sly - Metric

Wipe it up, you’re capable of putting back a few when you have to

Re-memorize the history of your body, like a virgin

Ladies' night, '80s night

The kids get high and eat TV

So do we

For Halloween, I want to be Lenny Bruce

I want them to hate me

(I want them to hate me)

I want them to hate me

(I want them to hate me)

I want them to hate me

So you can love me on the sly

My old flame broke the 12 bar blues just to prove he could

He pays the airline DJs now

He is everywhere

I want him to hate me

(I want him to hate me)

I want him to hate me

(I want him to hate me)

I want him to hate me

So you can love me on the sly

I want him to hate me

(I want him to hate me)

I want him to hate me

I don’t feel so far away from you lately

Love me on the sly

Fill me in on horrible

How much is there?

Where else can I live?

The dirty sugar factory on the water

(On the water)

Should smell sweet

I want them to hate me

I want them to hate me

I don’t feel so far away from you lately

Love me on the sly

I want them to hate me

I want them to hate me

I don’t feel so far away from you lately

Love me on the sly

I want them to hate me

I want them to hate me

I don’t feel so far away from you lately

Love me on the sly
