Floating On A Cracker

ViV White Album, 2001

From the streets of New York City
There grew a little girl
Named buttercup sunflower
But her friends all called her pearl
And she stripped herself down naked
And she ran through central park
Singing I am just a temp in this life
Floating on a cracker Oh you Yea you
And her life is getting random
And her friends all have great taste
And the front is breaking down now
You can read it on her face
And fashion police are coming
Cause she dug into the hamper
She's got an empty fridge with lights out
She's got dead plants in her bedroom
Chorus:
And I'll say this for you girl
You're something when you're fun
I think you're almost there but
The hill is too damn sliperry and
Your eyes are all puffed up
Floaating on a cracker
Floating on and on
It's got a funky plastic mask on
And some crazy green plaid pants
And I think I understand it
It's an almost outside chance
And i see the summer coming
And I don't feel the way I used to
And my yellow tinted glasses
Are gonna make me feel brand new
Chorus:
No don't say no
Cause you don't get it if you don't forget it
And you say to get far you need a new setting
And the juice is sour cause you can't get going
And I don't care I live in this city
And I don't give a damn cause
you can't let it bother you
And I am just a temp in this life
Floating on a cracker
Floating on and on
Floating on a cracker(you're something when you're fun)
Floating on and on
