Regina Spektor - I Cut Off My Hair Lyrics






I cut off my hair and went to sleep
You were there, in my dreams
Nursin' on my glass teat
It was a party, you were suckin' liquor
On your jacket a VIP sticker
It was a party, you were suckin' liquor
On your jacket a VIP sticker

I peed in my pants and ran down the street
Towards Washington Square Park,
Where you had been beat up
You were wearing rags, I was wearing pointe shoes
I tried to lay next to you, but you hit the snooze

The definition of
A crazy person is
Someone who does the same thing over
And over again, while expecting new results
I cut off my tongue
You started to kiss me
Blood trickled down
Don't you ever miss me?
Don't you ever miss me?
Don't you ever miss me?
Don't you ever mince meat?

I called up my momma, but I couldn't be sweet, so
I escaped through the window on a rope made of sheets
Got bitten by a squirrel
And stepped on a syringe
The view of Manhattan from GW Bridge

You said, "Honey?"
I said, "Baby?"
You said, "Funny."
I said, "Maybe."
You says, "Hi Honey."
I says "Hey Baby."
You asked, "Was it funny?"
And I say, "Well maybe."
Maybe, maybe

I cut off my hair and went to sleep
You were there, in my dreams
Nursin' on my glass teat
I cut off my hair and went to sleep
You were there, in my dreams
Nursin' on my glass teat
The definition of
A crazy person is
It was a party, you were sucking liquor
On your jacket, a VIP sticker
It was a party, you were sucking liquor
On your jacket a VIP, uh....

Regina Spektor I Cut Off My Hair Comments
  1. r.... ....

    I haven’t listened to this song in like 5 yrs and still remember all the lyrics

  2. M.... R....

    ...got bit by a squirrel....
    Ouch. They can crack walnuts.

  3. s.... c....

    I miss this regina.
    I know artists grow and change...
    But I miss this regina.

  4. G.... -....

    I love this song sooo much ♡ there's just something special about it

  5. C.... ....

    Where and how can I hear this song more?! I’m pulling out my hair trying to find out.

    C.... ....

    She hasn't released it, so it isn't on spotify or anything, sadly.

  6. J.... ....

    Why do I love (this so much)
    How long did it take (to find)

  7. A.... R....

    This melody... Oh God, Regi, stop hurting my heart with so much beauty!

  8. A.... R....

    I love every single note Regina ever played
    She touched my soul in a way no one ever did before

  9. A.... A....

    I like how this song suddenly breaks from its light nonsensical tone with the jarring "Don't you ever miss me? Don't you ever miss me?" and then as if the singer realizes that she's let it slip. It goes back to the nonsensical tone "Don't you ever mince meat?"

    A.... A....

    The grand clown. Like, she wants life to be beautiful and fun and light and sometimes it gets heavy and it slips... and then it's light again. This song is my favorite one by her.

  10. L.... P....

    couldn't help crying listening to this fucking gorgeous song

  11. I.... ....

    Still one of my favorite songs.

  12. O.... ....

    There is something special about this song... :)

  13. P.... K....

    I love this song!.. She's soooo talented; I love it.

  14. D.... W....

    One of her best <3

  15. S.... B....

    she got flow

  16. F.... ....

    This is my favourite song at the moment haha
    Something about it is just so great!

  17. R.... ....

    I have this theory that if Regina actually did cut all her hair off, she would look like a British man

    R.... ....

    this is perfect. thank you.

  18. I.... E....

    A diamond in the rough.

  19. t.... ....

    it reminds me a lot of kimya Dawson - the beer for breakfast.

    t.... ....

    +thekalinka918 I hear it too :)

    t.... ....

    I was thinking the same thing!!!

  20. E.... F....

    Uma das coisas mais lindas que ela já produziu. Totalmente relatável. <3 
    "A definição de uma pessoa louca é aquela que faz a mesma coisa várias vezes esperando novos resultados"

  21. H.... A....

    I can relate to this song too much.

  22. Y.... s....

    the longer I stare at her lips the larger they look its like an optical illusion

  23. j.... ....

    I hope she releases this one day. There's such profundity in every single melody she writes.

  24. t.... ....

    I'm so happy there's a studio version... I used to listen to a live version of this, like, nonstop a long time ago.

  25. Z.... M....

    She...is...flawless

  26. i.... ....

    why dO i get sad when i hear this song like it kind of just makes me want to cry. anyone else??

    i.... ....

    me, yes. it's really melancholy.

  27. S.... ....

    this chick is good man.

  28. A.... G....

    I love love love this song. Her lyrics might sound strange but they make so much sense when you look at the bigger picture. My favourite line is ''Don't you ever mince meat?'' because she's so wrapped up in her love for her ex-lover and she misses him so much..aww I just love this song so much and I love Regina so much for creating this fantastic music 

  29. A.... ....

    Always loved it

  30. a.... ....

    just found out cookie cheated and the god of war will have a lovely visit before leaving to Jamaica by the army girl.... so far very confused with Bs but that's ok because as soon as i heard the first few notes of this song i smiled greatly :) 

  31. N.... L....

    she. is. so. BEATIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O

  32. F.... A....

    my new favourite regina song.....it is hard to pick favourites out of her songs...but this really takes the cake

  33. s.... ....

    I am in deep need of a studio recording of virgin queen ugh

  34. j.... S....

    I want to marry you Regina!!!!

  35. l.... ....

    Could this be related to Samson at all?

  36. l.... ....

    considering cutting off all my hair so I can sing this

  37. 4.... ....

    please tell me where i can download the studio version of this song!

  38. L.... ....

    Regina? Regina? Regina?

  39. L.... ....

    Awww I like this song. I want!

  40. S.... D....

    I know this comment was made a while ago but if you're still looking for recordings from live shows, there are loads at respektonline . com
    I hope that helps!

  41. m.... ....

    I love this song f

  42. S.... Z....

    I cannot stop listening to this song.

  43. k.... ....

    can't believe i just found this song today!!

  44. J.... D....

    Actually I think some of the people who have these may be under the impression that she may not have wanted them released and it that it would be unfair to do so when she may not want them to be.

  45. S.... ....

    I just can't believe studio version of this song does really exist. Thanks a lot for sharing and spreading reginitis ;)

  46. z.... ....

    loool funny and awesome, gosh im hoping id see this on her official album

  47. L.... ....

    I love this so much! :)

  48. A.... O....

    obsessed

  49. R.... B....

    Why isn't this on Itunes?!?!!

  50. A.... G....

    I fell in love with this song the second I heard it, thank you for posting this! :)

  51. M.... ....

    The fact that she's pursuing this person and constantly fails makes her crazy and by her defining it gives somewhat of an understanding to where she's going with the whole song, she's saying the definition of a crazy person is_____ which lets us to believe that she's gone bonkers and she knows it but she still believes it'll happen.

  52. M.... ....

    I'll answer as a general response; To me she is insane. She speaks of dreams and in these dreams she's with this person that to her is VIP aka very important to her. She tries to lay down with him, as she said in the song but her dreams wouldnt become a reality because he kept on hitting the snooze. The way she defines a crazy person is defining her, she tries to pursue something with this person but fails over and over. She asks if he misses her and then plays with the words until they change.

  53. g.... ....

    Where can I download this? D:

  54. S.... B....

    pretty smexy right? :)

  55. A.... ....

    Don't you ever miss me?

  56. M.... ....

    okay her lips are changing color...

  57. C.... T....

    she says pointe shoes :$ <3

  58. R.... C....

    1:27 Perfection.

  59. L.... W....

    This has got to be one of my all time favourites by Regina!
    It sounds so beautiful when she sings the: Na na na na na ... :D

  60. r.... ....

    i've been waiting for all those demo/live recordings to be studio recorded!

  61. d.... ....

    thank you so much! this (and others) are awesome. it's a wonder why they didn't make it into any released albums, ae?

  62. E.... R....

    WHAT??!! There's a studio demo of the virgin queen somewhere out there in this world and no one is kind enough to share?? :( I NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  63. j.... ....

    Nope. There's a live performance of the party that's been floating around for a few weeks.

  64. A.... W....

    So is this her new album? Becuase i already know these songs for a long, long time ago.. tho they werent studio recorded...
    So... does this mean that she created an album made of her old songs, (such as open and small town moon), and put them on a new album?
    Well then. It's about time.

  65. o.... ....

    No. Different song. Both are great!

  66. a.... ....

    BEST SONG EVER:):):)

  67. s.... ....

    i hopee! i really freaked out when i realized Party could be this lol & also ive been kinda hoping long brown hair could be jessica! im just spazzing out in excitement im seeing her for the first time on the 10th! so we will basically hear all the new music then! i will record them and post them hear for everyone to hear!

  68. s.... ....

    heyyy regina lovers mm i have a question on the new album! so you know how she has that track called the party? is that this? lol i would literally die! thanks! :D

  69. T.... F....

    it's very sad :( people could enjoy together of regina's songs :(

  70. C.... ....

    Wow that's terrible, hopefully people will get those songs out there.

  71. H.... R....

    Yeah there are apparently loads more (Including Dog & Pony, Virgin Queen etc.!) But the people who have the songs are not sharing them because obviously they like being "special". A similar situation happened with the previous lot of demos (from 1999) a small circle of people had them for years and shared amongst each other, and it wasn't until one person actually shared the songs that everyone got to here them.

    So yeah spread this message and maybe the same people will feel guilty and share.

  72. C.... ....

    I read that there are more of her live songs that are studio recorded. If there are, then someone has to post them!
