Do Your Hair
Ty Segall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll pick you up at eight
Spray paint the bathrooms
Do your hair anywhere
Anywhere at all

Kissed you on the carpet
I gave you my headache
You tried to give it back

You stole the car and ate garbage

Pick me off the wall
And put me in your pocket
I wanna sleep inside
Of your leather jacket

So pull your hair anywhere
Anywhere at all
