lyrics

sexy dreams

i awoke from this dream i was having,
kissing on this guy and playing rough in the back.
i was a dyke in someone else's body.
i shuttered when you came inside me.
in the day i let the night time be.
i would keep it to myself walking the halls of my high school,
thinking back on all the lessons i'd learned.

like danny's dad said "you shake hands like a faggot."
i said "danny, could you tell me what exactly all your dad meant?"
he said "you don't wanna be sick now. now do ya? or do ya?"

me and jenny had a good time laughing
and taking off our clothes to explore each other's bodies.
she said "i don't wanna disappoint you, but you could never be my girl."
either way, we spent a lot of time together.
there were questions over gender, but we settled in the mean time.
she said "that's how it is." i said "that's fine."

i had a friend who had the nerve to ask the question,
he'd said, "you could pull it off, why not avoid all the attention?"
he said, "don't you know you could have it much easier?"
but me and jenny held on to our contradiction
and we didn't let it go until we'd took it to the limit,
though in the end it cut her deeper.

jenny's dad had had a knack for condescension.
he'd said "girl, what you doing always looking for attention?
could you get over this phase now? you embarrass me."
so to my friend with the clever little question,
i said, "i know what i could do would be easier.
but by and by, i shouldn't have to."

I found Days N' Daze right at the end of a long term relationship falling apart into a toxic mess. This album really helped me get through it. Call in the Coroner in particular was on repeat many days. Thanks for the tunes y'all! Tribar

Courting Strong
by Martha

supported by 32 fans who also own “The Papas”

Present, Tense is the first song I ever heard from this band. As an American/Canadian, I definitely misheard every single lyric, but I loved the song. This is a Martha staple, and should be an introductory album to the band. Never change, Martha. Fuck the binary. thorseus
