Authenticity Trip - They Might Be Giants

I’m losin' my English accent

Think of all the changes you put me through, girl

Back against the pit boss again

And now I’m fencin' with him

With just a fountain pen

See I’m dead as a dog

On these one-night stands

And now I’m in these classes

Just to be your man

I just wanted my big toe

In the soft, soft sand

Now I’m neck deep in the quick, quick

So tell me are you ready

For the bitter truth?

Authenticity Trip

Yes, 200-proof

But I keep it in the cupboard

By your baby tooth

That your mom saved

I think your mommy’s nice

So tonight we’re takin' a jet-plane 'round

To somebody’s house

Out in the Hollywood Hills

I said the Hollywood Hills

Like I’ve been there before

But I haven’t in a while

Or really at all

Go!

Someday I’ll win

I’m not Ichabod Crane

And though dark my days

I’ll say until then

Someday I’ll win

I’m not Ichabod Crane

So mark it down

While I say it again

I’m stuck here

In Bubble’s of Teaneck

Since you kicked me out

It just seems like a good place to be

Gonna get my head straight again

With some guys with some time

And some clothes that get cleaned

We’re dancin' in the window

Like we like to dance

Get a full head of steam

In our waggled-up stance

Cause tonight Sleepy Hollow’s

Just a few miles away

With dramatic re-enactments

And an overnight stay

Go!

Someday I’ll win

I’m not Ichabod Crane

And though dark my days

I’ll say until then

Someday I’ll win

I’m not Ichabod Crane

So mark it down

While I say it again

Someday I’ll win

I’m not Ichabod Crane

And though dark my days

I’ll say until then

Someday I’ll win

I’m not Ichabod Crane

So mark it down

While I say it again
