new zealand

you caught me on an awful day

my little life is all fucked up

my psyche is in disarray. new zealand

new zealand

i wish i could enjoy you more

i wish i had more time to see

your cliffsides and your blackened shores. new zealand

new zealand

i don't know why i tour this way

trapped inside an aeroplane

and twittering the scenery. new zealand

new zealand

i feel like shit

what can i say?

my period is six days late

my pubic hair is turning grey

but i don't believe in the beauty standard

and there's no way that i'm pregnant

so it's technically okay. everything is so beautiful here

the people on cuba street drinking their beer

i wish i could stay here and never go home

i wish i could be just like holly hunter in 'the piano'

and not have to talk to anyone

even though there's technically nothing wrong with my voice

and just play piano and make love to hot local boys. new zealand

new zealand

you caught me at the end of tour

my willpower's collapsing

and i cannot do this anymore. new zealand

new zealand

my song is coming to an end

i hope you have enjoyed it

and i hope i get my period. i also hope i haven't grossed you out

but that's what you get

when you ask me to write a song about your country in twenty minutes.
