Open Book

Band: Cake
Album: Fashion Nugget
Song: Open Book
Lyrics: Shes writing, shes writing,
Shes writing a novel.
Shes writing, shes weaving,
Conceiving a plot.
It quickens, it thickens.
You cant put it down now.
It takes you, it shakes you,
It makes you lose your thought.

But you're caught in your own glory.
You are believing your own stories.
Writing your own headlines.
Ignoring your own deadlines.
But now you've gotta write them all again.

You think shes an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
You think shes an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
Do you? do you?

You want her, confront her.
Just open your window.
Unbolt it, unlock it,
Unfasten your latch.
You want it, confront it.
Just open your window.
All you really have to do is ask.

But you're caught in your own glory.
You are believing your own stories.
Timing your contractions.
Inventing small contraptions
That roll across your polished hardwood floors.

You think shes an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
You think shes an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
Do you? do you?

You think shes an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
Do you? do you? do you?

What is Jon saying in the background at 1:56 ? Whatever it is, this song and the entire album is freaking amazing!

[Swordmaster10]

I'm not sure I think he's just talking.

[allaboot]

I actually think the drunk-sounding chorus is a positive. Perfectly sung choruses are what boy bands are for.

[XxStormyxNightzxX]

I love this music sooo much. :}}}

[KayleeChariz]

They just don't make music like this anymore. I love it!

just started listening to cake because i saw them on conan the other night and thought they performed well but my brother said he thought the lead singer had an average voice...i told him it kinda fit the band and i bet the studio version sound better, its been a few days since then now i got about 15 cake songs saved on my favorites and my next paycheck im gonna buy a couple of there albums. Point of the story....cake is fucking awesome.
