Vernie Lyrics - Soup - Blind Melon

Is it the way you're speakin'? 

Is it because I'm peakin'? 

Twistin' your face, thumb in hand 

But you gotta have your own space to play in 

A collection of glass chickens 

Oh Vernie, what a garden you have 

Maybe its the snuff under your lip 

Or maybe, caramel cake covered in Christmas 

Oh, a flower you are to my land 

But I, no I cannot deny the beauty 

If I had a heart, I will want it to be like Vernie's 

Oh, what a heart that she has 

Roaming through the cupboard jar of pickles 

Never opened since 1983 

Peanuts in a pile and Elvis down the aisle 

Singing galliantly 

I wish I could be, I wish I could be 

I wish I could be, wish I could be 

I wish I could be, little more like Vernie 

Oh, I wanna be, I wanna be, little more like Vernie
