Lyrics:

She just made another deposit
In her imaginary closet
I think it's starting to become harmful
'Cause she just grabbed another armful

That's got to be her umteenth item
I swear we'll be here ad infinitum
It doesn't matter what the price is
'Cause she's so indecisive

And in her mind she's got dresses and skirts
Blouses and shirts and every pair of shoes

I think it has to do with Barbie
Compared to her her wardrobe's sorry
Or maybe it's the two-X genome
The urge to try on what she don't own

Or maybe her parents confined her to too tiny spaces
And now she likes to change in public places
Just her modeling alone in her stall
And to the security camera up on the wall

And in her mind she's got dresses and skirts
Blouses and shirts and lord knows how many shoes

And in her mind she's got dresses and skirts
Blouses and shirts and lord knows how many shoes

Now I'm not against window shopping
But with her there's no stopping
I only use a room to see if something fits
And when it does I go and pay for it

But she'll walk out with the clothes she wore in
Having worn everthing in the store in
At least we'll never hear that register ring
'Cause she never buys a single thing, no no no

And in her mind she's got dresses and skirts
Blouses and shirts and lord knows how many shoes

And in her mind she's got dresses and skirts
Blouses and shirts and lord knows how many shoes
She's ever worn

Song Notes:

This song is a Beatnik Turtle live favorite. While it's a decent studio song, it's a twisting song that just has the best energy live. You can hear what it sounds like from the stage on the Beatnik Turtle live CD, which will be released in 2007.

Her Imaginary Closet is inspired by an article about women's shopping habits. According to the article, women try on an astounding number of clothes without buying them. Men, on the other hand, often buy more than they try on.
