Affection for the animated cartoon character Daria.
lyrics
She's a team of one
She wears the number that doesn't exist
Charged with uselessness
Ransacks the rules just for fun
Her glassy eyes plot the game's demise
So you'd better not throw her the ball
She'll miss
'Cause it's a dumb game anyway
(instrumental phrase)
I see myself in 2-D, primary, not secondary
I see myself on TV, rendered out in full
Draw me like her, With dry wit and mystery
Draw me like her, In the misfit that they all see
The kids won’t know me when I’m back at school
The square peg now... suddenly cool.
Paint my world bright green
With clean lines, no eraser marks
The humor’s a little dark
But I get a good laugh in every scene
Name it for me so they'll let me be
Explain me so they know who I am
Because life is stark
When they wanna make you somebody else
(instrumental phrase)
I see myself in 2-D, primary, not secondary
I see myself on TV, rendered out in full
CHORUS
No disguises, Naked and free
No pretense, no defense,You get what you see
