Staying In - Juliana Hatfield

Tell me exactly what you want

And then tell me what to say

'Cause I can’t keep it straight

They keep changing all the rules

And I don’t know how to play these games

I’m staying in

My hair’s not right

And if I go out

Somebody might

Take me for a functioning

Human being

I can’t control my face

I try to keep it neutral

But sometimes it moves and it betrays

Some inner wiring

That makes you want to look away

I’m staying in

My hair’s not right

And if I go out

Somebody might

Take me for a functioning

Human being

I’m up with the birds

Breakfast in the dark

Then violently tired

Fall back into bed

Sleep right through the light

Something’s wrong inside

Systems are not unified

Staying in

My hair’s not right

And if I go out

Somebody might

Take me for a functioning

Human being
