"Open House"


	Please
	Come over to 81st street I'm in the apartment
	above the bar
	You know you can't miss it, it's across from the subway
	and the tacky store with the mylar scarves
	My skin's as pale as outdoors moon
	my hair's silver like a Tiffany watch
	I like lots of people around me but don't kiss hello
	and please don't touch

	It's a Czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me
	The way to make friends Andy is invite them up for tea
	Open house, open house

	I've got a lot of cats, here's my favorite
	she's lady called Sam
	I made a paper doll of her, you can have it
	That's what I did when I had St.Vitus dance

	It's a Czechoslovakian custom my mother passed on to me
	Give people little presents so they remember me
	Open house, open house

	Someone bring the vegetables
	someone please bring heat
	My mother showed up yesterday
	we need something to eat

	I think I got a job today they want me to draw shoes
	The ones I drew were old and used, they told me to draw something new
	Open house, open house

	Fly me to the moon
	fly me to a star
	But there are no stars in the New York sky
	they're all on the ground

	You scared yourself with music, I scared myself with paint
	I drew 550 different shoes today, it almost made me faint
	Open house, open house
	Open house, open house
