Story Behind The Song
80s style pop fun. A stalker crush that starts at the grocery store has the writer snooping in mailboxes and dancing with photographs. "Can you spell my name? Do you know what it begins with?
I can spell your name, cause I checked your mail while you were not home"

Lyrics
PRETTY PICTURES
I've got pretty pictures of you on the walls of my living room
You are watching me as I dance naked on the rug
We met at your favorite grocery store,
The one that closed its automatic doors
I got my foot stuck time and again pushing past your cart
Can you spell my name?
Do you know what it begins with?
I can spell your name,
cause I checked your mail while you were not home
You have no reason to be afraid,
I've been clean since the Labour Day parade
I gave my film and camera to a homeless guy I know
But lock your door at night just the same,
in case I start sleepwalking again
That dream is such a beauty, the one where I have you in my arms
Can you spell my name?
Do you know what it begins with?
I can spell your name,
cause I checked your mail while you were not home
That handsome man with the handsome car,
he came on Friday and took you somewhere
I have never been, your golden skin, your golden hair
And I've got pretty pictures of you getting down with that man in a room
Where the patterns on the bed
don't match the wallpaper on the wall
Can you spell my name?
Do you know what it begins with?
I can spell your name,
cause I checked your mail while you were not home
Can you spell my name?
Do you know what it begins with?
I can spell your name,
cause I checked your mail while you were not home
