Are You Serious

Are You Serious - Andrew Bird

Used to have just one foot out the door

Yeah I always wanted more

I always was the one

You thought would never marry

Used to be so wilfully obtuse or is the word abstruse

Semantics like a noose get out your dictionaries

I'm gonna cut to the quick

This is all non fiction

Words you beat with a stick

These are my true convictions

So tell me are you serious

Are you serious

Cause every night of your life

You'll fight for it

So mysterious

How imperious

But are you serious

When it really comes down to it

I see that you're down there and I'm up here

Your boyfriend's gone to get a beer

Leaving us crystal clear lines of communications

Promise me you won't avert your eyes

I'll drop my third person disguise

You know it's time to do or die

No useless explanations

I'm gonna cut to the quick

This is all non fiction

Words you beat with a stick

These are my true convictions

Tell me are you serious

Are you serious

Every night of your life

You'll fight for it

So mysterious

How imperious

But are you serious

When it really comes down to it

Tell me are you serious

Are you serious

Every night of your life

You'll fight for it

So mysterious

Are you serious

Every night of your life

You'll fight for it
