Chloë is a borough socialist She insists there's not much more to it Than drinks with a certain element Of downtown art criticism I benefit more than I should admit From her unscrupulous therapist How Benzedrine supposed to address Your shoplifting is anybody's guess Chloë Chloë Please don't ever change That story that continues to persist How you could have dropped the cigarette On the trip your boyfriend's canoe flipped Doesn't lose your grip on me a bit She and I, we were inseparable 'Til Ma called my East Coast uncle to Ascertain the welfare of her son Howard said, "Mary, you'd better come" Chloë Her name is Chloë And he's talking awful strange But the more they abhor you The more I adore you I would but I can't My heart don't stand a chance Of even a glance Her soul is a pitch black expanse Summer ended on the balcony She put on Flight of the Valkyries At her 31st birthday party Took a leap into the Autumn leaves

"By now this tragedy's my own" Oh-o-oh-oh It was just the thing for their Q4 "Deeply funny" was the rave refrain It was just the thing for their Q4 It'll be on stands before the holidays It was just the thing for their Q4 The film adaptation was a total mess It was just the thing for their Q4 'Til she was outed for her privilege It was just a thing for their Q4 Can't see her brother now unsupervised It was just the thing for their Q4 Her family switched care right when she inquired

There's no need to fear me Darlin', I love you as you are When you're alone I never tried to change you As if I could and if I were to What's the part that I'd miss most? When you're smiling and astride me I can hardly believe I found you And I'm terrified by that I've got nothing to hide from you Kissing my brother in my dreams Or finding God knows in my jeans You see me as I am, it's true Aimless, fake drifter And the horny man-child Momma's boy to boot That's how you live free Truly see and be seen
