I met a girl named Bertha She said, she was a flat earther On her way to the conference I said, you know that that´s nonsense She said, this shit´s not nonsense
You don´t even know Have you heard my silence? I said, what about science? And she said, science don´t give me no love
I got talking to Linda She was out on a bender Flicking through Tinder I said, how´s that working for you? She said, it´s not working It´s just regret and embarrassment lurking But it´s late and I´m lonely and hurting And where else can I get me some love?
Holding on for dear life Always the bridesmaid but never the bride A billion tiny islands in the ocean All these characters I dream
Variations on a theme Variations on a theme Variations on a theme
I met a boy called Casper He´s a worldwide traveller Talking about ayahuasca As he stares into his pasta He said, I probably shouldn´t fly so much Probably shouldn´t get high so much But I´m a lonely hedonist and my therapist says I need to find ways to love myself
How could I forget Brian? Opened the floodgates without even trying I missed my stop on that train Cos I got a lot of time for a grown man crying He said, she loves me and I love him and he loves she
Still spinning a bottle on the topmost shelf And looking for love like everyone else
Holding on for dear life Always the bridesmaid but never the bride A billion tiny islands in the ocean All these characters I dream Variations on a theme Variations on a theme Variations on a theme
