Lyrics
Met you in front of a diner and you had blue hair
You were so nice
You were from LA, but you were all there
You were alright
So many people say that they have it together
But I think you're a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather
Met you in front of a diner and you were so sweet
Made my heart beat, oh my, my, my, my, my
I met you with your mother and she had green shoes
She was so cool, it was fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
So many people say that they have it together
But I think you're a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather, a feather
You also take pictures and you gave me one
Of a nun who was playing the drums
She was crazy, her name was Katie
I think you're so fun
So many people say that they have it together
But I think you're a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather, oh
You don't think I'm that strange, you're so weird
That's 'cause you're so queer, but who's not these days?
You wear purple socks and you still like Purple Haze
So many people think that you have it together
But they don't see you crying in the shower
But I can make you better
'Cause you make me better
Yeah, you make me better
Yeah, you make me better
