Styrofoam by Chris Acker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the little kids got their sidewalk chalk
Stepping on the roaches, putting salt on the slugs
And I'm sitting in my kitchen chewing on bread
Treating every dollar like a rubber band

[Verse 2]
Oh those big eyebrows and those high cheek bones
They had her looking pretty funny till' she was grown
Now she's living on the corner and I make no wish
I wonder how she'd liked my face if it didn't look like this

[Pre-Chorus]
But she wouldn't ask for something
She couldn't get by herself

[Chorus]
I wanna feel you on my skin like a copper tonе
I wanna beg, I wanna beg like a payday loan
I'm gonna stand my ground likе a traffic cone
Honey I'm gonna last like, like styrofoam, like styrofoam
[Verse 3]
All the earth girls just pump their thumbs
Resting on their elbows until they're numb
And I'm standing around on my two feet
Wondering if they can move on them like me

[Verse 4]
Well the hangers in her closet they're better dressed
Than any pew humper in their Sunday best
And I want the little bruises from her kiss
I wonder how she'd liked my face if it didn't look like this

[Pre-Chorus]
She wouldn't ask for something
She couldn't get by herself

[Chorus]
I wanna feel you on my skin like a copper tone
I wanna beg, I wanna beg like a payday loan
I'm gonna stand my ground like a traffic cone
Honey I'm gonna last like, like styrofoam, like styrofoam
Like styrofoam, like styrofoam
