Violent Femmes

Blake says no one ever really loved him 

They just faked it to get money from the government 

And Blake thinks angels grow when you plant angel dust 

He shakes his pretty head 

But darling, trust me, trust me 

He's no valentine 

Though he said he would be mine 

His heart is in Alaska all the time 



Blake stays underwater for the most part 

He collects loose change for All Tomorrow's Parties 

And when Blake dates girls with tattoos of the pyramids 

He breaks their hearts 

By saying it's not permanent 

But in his velvet mind 

He believes with all his might 

We'll all go to Alaska when we die 



Blake makes friends but only for a minute 

He prefers the things he orders from the internet 

And Blake's been having trouble with his head again 

He takes his pills 

But never takes his medicine 

Like Candy in his prime 

He likes his shirts to shine 

And when it's two o'clock it feels like nine 



Blake says he is sorry he got through to me 

If it's ok he'll call right back and talk to the machine 

Blake says it looks like acid rain today 

He takes the fish inside 

He's very kind that way 

But just like Caroline 

He doesn't seem to mind 

The globe is getting warmer all the time 



It's still cold in Alaska 

It's still cold in Alaska
