lyrics

she’s like a boob job in flip-flops she’s wearing all black but she’s malled
she wants to dress you all up like the guy from her favorite store
she’ll take the punk rock, the art pop and all the new wave that you’ve got
but what she secretly wants is “new kids on the block”

you’re gonna buy her house

you’re taking xanax and zoloft and knob creek and ecstasy’s next
whatever it takes to get outta bed
we’ve got cheap flights and bus rides and rental cars and money to spare
but there’s nowhere to go where no one’s seen us before

you’re gonna buy her a house

when the emptiness feels
the only thing that is real
and there’s no one to steer
you’re gonna buy her a house

she’s your boob job in flip-flops she’s wearing all black and she’s malled
so you rush her right home show her off to your mom
you sold your old bike, your art life, you got a new car and a dog
you sold yourself short so she wouldn’t get bored

when the emptiness feels
the only thing that is real
and there’s no one to steer
you’re gonna buy her a house
when it’s just you and she
has a list of new needs
and the bills you can’t breathe
you’re gonna buy her a house

about

Allegra Gellar Los Angeles, California

Jeremy Wilkins, Denver Bon, and GL3 were Allegra Gellar. Pez played bass from 2004-2006 and Olive played drums for a bit in 2007-2008. Dan played drums here and there. They made indie-rock, indie-folk, and folktronic music from 2003 till 2012.

In 2012 they completed their final album, The Secret Plans Of Men, and finally satisfied with what they'd done, promptly disbanded.
