Lyrics   status: confirmed

You're the thrill of a million
Walking down the sidewalk
Feel like an alarm clock
Woke up and dressed up
Don't look like a T-shirt
Feel just like a donut
Come and take the trash out
What's the use of crying
Don't look like a bra
Feel just like a burger
Can I make him like me
Do you feel like I do
Don't look like a slip skirt
Feel just like a poser
Don't look like an angel
I guess I'll put some jeans on
Make my lips look redder
Drew, you still look better

This is for Lisa

Ran away to the west
Faxed my mom for the test
Couldn't stay for the rest
Then I met him Jess
He is just the best
We kissed right under a tree
I felt so salty free
I felt so salty free
I felt nothing like me

So salty free

All your dreams will come true.
All my dreams came true, but...
Now, I have a bunch of other dreams...
It's gonna be hot.

So salty free

NOTES:

  • No known SY live performance of this song exists.
  • "Lisa" is Lisa "Suckdog" Carver, who also wrote the liner notes to the EVOL CD reissue (the voice samples on this track are presumably her as well).
  • During recording, Butch Vig commented that Kim's guitar intro was too similar to Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". Kim claimed it was intentional, according to Confusion is Next.
  • Written as a fantasy response to the Drew Barrymore Guess jeans advertisements (hence the capitalization of the word "GUESS" in the lyrics in the liner notes).
