Cake – Daria

When you tried to kiss me

I only bit your tongue.

When you tried to get me together

I only came undone.

When you tried to tell me

The one for me was you,

I was in your mattress back in 1982.

Daria, I won’t be soothed.

Daria, I won’t be soothed over like,

Smoothed over like milk,

Silk, a bedspread, or a quilt,

Icing on a cake,

Or a serene translucent lake.

Daria, Daria, Daria,

I won’t be soothed.

I won’t be soothed.

When you tried to tell me

Of all the love you had,

I was cleaning oil from beaches

Seeing only what was bad.

When you tried to feed me

I only shut my mouth.

Food got on your apron

And you told me to get out.

Daria, I won’t be soothed.

Daria, I won’t be soothed over like,

Smoothed over like milk,

Silk, a bedspread, or a quilt,

Icing on a cake,

Or a serene translucent lake.

Daria, Daria, Daria,

Daria, Daria, Daria,

Daria, I won’t be soothed.

I won’t be soothed.
