Lyrics Eleanor Friedberger

Scenes from Bensonhurst

My honey knows the best sleeping spots

While I get lost at the roundabout

And I get lost at the smell of those horses

Who do people tell you that you look like?

Someone from my past and actor who I don't like

I lay in bed and dreamt I never said that

I lay in bed and tempt myself with my screen, my screen, my screen

Next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox

He shaved off his beard and saw The Girl Who Played With Fire

Well being a mannequin was all I could manage

Seeing the opposite side was all that I could wrangle that day

Scenes From Bensonhurst against the wall

He's gonna bawl when he sees this

His mom went blind with a third baby

Oh shit, that's crazy

I lay in bed and dreamt I never said that

I lay in bed and tempt myself with my screen, my screen, my screen

Next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox

He gambled away his savings with just his shirt

Money for clothes/cigarettes, and he sold the place in SF

He believes in numbers or nothing at all

And how could he be so impressed with such a little fall?

And his intuition told him that they'd be married someday

He lies in bed and tempts himself with his screen, his screen, his screen

I lay in bed and dreamt I never said that

I lay in bed and tempt myself with my screen, my screen, my screen

Next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox

Next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox

Ooh next next next - now it's all of them in my inbox
