Deeply Distressed

I can't stop crying somebody slap me I'm hysterical
is this a nervous breakdown or a healthy cry
I lie on a bed of nails and beg for mercy
I'm tongue tied in a desert no I'm not really
thirsty he's looking at me do I look good
or is he desperate I always get the married
ones the twisted ones and all I want is a
straight single heterosexual male the fan mail
keeps pouring in I'm having delusions again
I'm not really a silly screwed up screwed
over quarter Cherokee with Eurotrash thrown in
for good measure twenty-three year old dysfunctional
confused female living in 1996 America I'm really Ava Gardner
and Frank's on his way over to pick
me up
