Calico by OK Glass Lyrics

What is a Calico?
Can I be a Calico?
How can I be a Calico?
Would it change the way I feel each day?

When I turn the lights on
And it sucks the darkness out of the room
Will it find something to do with it
Besides leave it in my shoes?

When I pour my coffee
And I spoon the sugar into the mug
Will a little LED come on
To indicate that I've put enough?

Have you heard of this before?
Is this heartburn or an ulcer?
What do you make of this scar?
Do you think it looks bad?

When I think of getting up
And I jettison the dreams from my head
Will a concrete wall erect itself
To keep them from returning again?
Is there a product I can buy?
Is there a knife I can go under?
Are my parts serviceable by user?
Is there a chip I can pry off with a screwdriver?

What is a Calico?
Could I be a Calico?
Is there some way I would know?
Would it change the way I feel each day?

When I'm walking down a street
Should I be accosted by memories
Will a piston lock my knees
To keep me from collapsing into a heap?

Do you think I'll be alright?
Is this an ulcer or just heartache?
Is there a pill that I can take
And will it kick in right away?

Yes!
I think I feel it!
Is this... calico onset?
Is this what it's like to be one?
Would I know another when I see one?
Is it wrong of me to want it?
Would it be if I were to flaunt it?
Does this change the way you think of me?
Don't you wish that you could be me?
