TITLE: Common TechnicalitiesThe song starts with Nichole standing in front of the camera, outside of a house, singing straight into the lens, as if she knows the camera is there. She's wearing clothes like she's been out for a jog, and had iPod speakers in her ears. The scene is filmed in a black and white filter. There's a distinct fuzziness to all the shots, as if the video was shot by an amateur cameraman.I'd like to know what's the point of this life anyway?
You offer help, but all I want to do is complain.
Don't start with your guilt trip, I can't even listen at all.
"Don't continue down this path," You say, but I know when I'll fall.
The scene switches to a close up on Castor's face as he's driving. As he stops the car and gets out, the camera pans back, showing that the entire backseat of the car is filled with lawn ornaments, like gnomes, flamingos, ect.I am the girl that your mothers have warned you about
Always in a new trouble, day in and day out
Couldn't you tell by the burn marks that cover my clothes?
Or by the way that I speak in polyphonic prose?
The next scene shows Nichole and Castor running around front lawn of a random house until they find another garden gnome. Nichole's clothes have changed into an almost Napoleon Bonaparte-like costume, hat and all. Nichole bends down and sings the lyrics to the gnome, as if she's talking to it.Pipe dream realities

Nichole is shown singing to random lawn ornaments and then handing them off to Castor, who loads them into the back of their car.No one can stop me, I'm just the queen of the world now
Hold me high up and worship me; the new sacred cow
Or I could be just the new "fake"; the new "out of the door."
Just a new casualty taken as a prisoner of war
As they are loading the last of the stolen lawn ornaments into the back fo the car, a flashlight is shined on them. A man in his night clothes has caught them. Nichole and Castor take off running, and end up hiding behind a tree as Nichole sings to the camera, the man in his PJs searching for them in the background.I guess you'll have to keep me around; take me to the burial ground
I've had some fun getting to know you
You seem like you are tried and true
I've had such fun getting to know you
You seem like you are tried and true
I've had all the fun getting to know you
The rest of you have a lot to live up to!
Nichole and Castor make a run for their car and jump inside, driving away with the man in his PJs chasing them.Pipe dream realities

Tell me you worship me; queen of petite bourgeoisies
I could swear that I love you and that you won't ever fall
And then you could crown me your ruler once and for all.
For all.
For all.
For all!
For all! For all! For all!
