Ben Folds Five - Kate Lyrics

She plays wipe out on the drums
Squirrels and the birds come
Gather round and sing the guitar, oh I
Have you got nothin' to say?
When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
So the roses can see, oh I
Have you got nothin' to say

And you can see daisies in her footsteps
Dandelions, dandelions, butterflies, butterflies
I wanna be Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate
Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she smokes pot, she's everything I want
She's everything I'm not, oh I
Have you got nothin' to say

She never gets wet she smiles and it's a rainbow, oh I
And she speaks and she speaks
And she breathes and she breathes
I wanna be Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate
Down by Rosemary and Cameroon
She hands out the Bhagavad Geeta
I see her around every couple days
I wanna see her so that I can say hey, Kate

(Ooo, la, la, la)
(Ooo, la, la, la)
(Ooo, la, la, la, la, la)
(Tu ru turu tu tu ru tu)
She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow, oh, ooh
You can see, you can see
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna be
Kate, Kate, Kate,
Na na, Kate, Kate, Kate
Na na na na na na
