You are my only girl, but you're not my owner girl.
Talk to me... dance with me here in the spotlight, girl.
Talk to me... dance with me here.
You're the spotlight girl.
So perfect you paint it... yet so manipulated.
So calm and so patient... yet oh so calculated.
So safe and comforting... this doesn't feel like flirting.
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
These bandages cover more than scrapes, cuts and bruises from regrets and mistakes
I've been hoping your moping around the street again
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
These bandages are anonymity
I've been shaking from making an awful decision
I've been running and running
feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
I've been hoping your moping around the street again
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
For you, of you, let's see what needles do
I've been shaking from making an awful decision
I've been thinking I'm drinking too many drinks all by myself
I've been running and running
Feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it will all turn around,
around, around, around, around, around, around, around

I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around
Dug a hole in Southern Carolina - took me straight to China safe and sound
Donated my map to the lost and found
While working for a common cause I only got a kamikaze state of mind
This self defeating meeting of the minds is eating what was once so hard to find
But right then the clouds parted in the sky
The horizon took us all a little by surprise
Watch the sky
And as the howling winds subsided, the locals ran out, all waving their hands and singing:
Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Wait here - stay here
I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around
Rolled a pair of dice in Paris that got me to paradise all safe and sound.
Stole my temper back from the lost and found
No longer needed to be seated on a sinking ship just waiting there to drown
Jump off now - jump off now
And as they lead us to their village, a thousand voices all started to sing out loud:
Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Wait here - stay here
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
And all the people on the island they already know why they sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing
Why they sing, why they sing, why they're singing
Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
This is the island of the honest man
Welcome to the island of the honest man
This is the island of the honest man
Wait here - stay here
Walking oh so slowly.
Don't know anybody.
Feels like I'm in Cairo.
Talking oh so quickly.
Please explain what they mean.
Taking matters too light.
How did this start a fight.
Why did I tie them tight?
Double knotted tonight.
I guess this must be Cairo.
Diamonds and brass hid behind painted glass in the heart of Cairo.
Sinking in way too deep.
I won't care what they think once I've left for Cairo.
Thinking about it too hard.
Shouldn't take this too far or I'll end up in Cairo.
Witless, humorous conversatoin
Has filled me up like an old gas station
I'm wallowing in a pool of gasoline
Self appointed sherrif of a popular ghostown
I'm open to bribes but I've arrested no one
I'm galloping to meet my bride to be
She'll woo the saloon then sing us both to sleep
But... I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time
Drop dead gorgeous art history drop out
Thought of her fatherought to pay her to clear the whole shop up
She carries her cameras in hand to complete the look
Screenplay players co-writing screenplay
Cotton candy fot the eyess but cotton balls for the brain
He thinks to himself, "Thank God the bar's not too high"
Just look at his face and then you'll see why
But... I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time
Hollywood waiter with a chip on his shoulder
Only break has been his back and yet he's just getting older
He's washing his clothes in a sink of self pity
Retired ball playerguest hosting a talk show
Earned a trophy and a wife and twice he's won the lotto
I'm running aways but don't know who from or why
Just look in his eyes and then you'll see why
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
Says she's got it all.
I don't wanna be the one to tell her that she don't.
Late night, in a lonely city...
So hard, she tries to look pretty.
Boys don't even notice her though.
She's in need of attention so...
Lost and naked in the city again.
Intoxicated by a quarter to ten.
Lost and naked in the city again.
I can't sit through this, no way
Get your face out of my face
Take who you heard I am and times it by a thousand again
I can't sit through this no more
Get your foot out of my door
You me and the devil makes three and that's still two too many for me
Years ago this is where you were thinking you would want to be
Now you're here look around is this really what you wanted to see?
I'm not talking deception
No misshapen mid-sections yo
Disses are no-no but I can't help but feeling just so-so
So you got a candidate to take your place?
It's not my fault that they hate your face
These kids need some new a-material
They'll spread for cred
Bacterial
I can't sit through this, no way
Get your face out of my face
Take who you heard I am and times it by a thousand again
I can't sit through this no more
Get your foot out of my door
You me and the devil makes three and that's still two too many for me
Once upon a time I guess it made some sense to me
to straddle idly a fend to wait and see
And still I don't know
still I don't know
still I don't know why I really had to give it a, give it a, give it a go
These people need you like a hole in the head
They were staying afloat until you threw them your lead
they were making their minds up matter-of-factly
fact of the matter is that it never ends happily
Watch them
they're fucking us one by one
drugged up
they're killing us just for fun
I don't care, no I don't care
watch them
they're climbing us rung by rung
oh god
breathing through iron lungs
I don't care, no I don't care
I can't sit through this no more
I can't sit through this no more
I can't sit through this, no way
Get your face out of my face
Take who you heard I am and times it by a thousand again
I can't sit through this no more
Get your foot out of my door
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
The wolves have smelled her scent.
Some of us wouldn't be lying if we said were trying too hard.
But, it all works out in the end.
Some of us would be trying too hard to begin lying.
But... but, it seems to all work out in the end.
Don't get mad if I'm laughing
Blame the caffeine for all the 5 am phone calls
I haven't slept a single night in over a month
And not even once did you start to make sense to me
Well maybe I'm a little bit slow, or just consistently inconsistent
She said, "Unpredictability's my responsibility, baby."
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
They chewed me up and then they spit me out
And I'm not supposed to let it bother me
But maybe I'm a little bit weak - I let my frailty take the wheel
She said, "Maybe there's a bit of me waiting for a bit of you. baby."
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it but you would anyway
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on when I go off back to the middle of nowhere
Watch your children around the abandoned well
Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
And the perfect plan that should pull me out
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here
Jingle jangle that's the sound of coins
Spent on useless toys made for useless boys
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
There's a piece of land that I got my eye on
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here
Friday night I'll raise my glass and say
"Tomorrow things will change! I can't afford to wait."
But by Monday morning my alarm clock knows
How this story goes and the ending's the same as the start
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here
Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here
Watch your children around the abandoned well
Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
Nobody knows what's gonna happen now
Sold all nine daughters and traded all the cows
Salute the 21st century dreamers as we wake up in a jail cell
Let the people think you're hiding something better than what you got
It sure beats hiding nothing
Paranoid? you can't blame me it's just JFK's LSD
We signed a waiver now we're testing, testing, 123
Can't get enough
Got quite a hunch you're scratching someone's crack
Don't let them fool, you lobotomies are back!
Salute the 21st century genius
I think it's time you take another look around
You can keep em at bat but put that knife away
Always with the wild card you're gonna wanna play cuz you're my implosionatic
My implosion addict
That a boy
Don't rock the boat
That a boy
Let it implode
I think it's time you take another couple days off
Gotta make a conversation such a face off
I'm betting debt is threatening to make it worse
Try to hide you're dreaming up an epitaphic verse
You can keep em at bay but put your pills away
Always with the wild card you always wanna play
So much for dying before you're 30 or 27 like Jan and Jim
Get on it
He never thought that he would leave so soon.
Passed out in May, but then woke up June hanging over July.
Security! Security!
Beware: the cost of living is a one way fare.
I'm pulling the alarm, so get in or get out.
His polyester sticks out in the crowd.
It's true, there is such a thing as too loud -but I won't let him know.
White lipstick smeared upon my bathroom mirror.
He stuck me with the bill -but I don't care.
Ugly or pretty, it's still my city.
Make up your mind and get in or get out!
Say what you will, but get in or get out!
We never thought that he would leave this town.
We always that he would hang around getting old with the rest.
Jean jackets folded on his closet shelf.
I won't say anymore I won't say anything across the bridge on Abbott Strip there lives a man with atlas grip windows covered single mattress on friday nights he feeds his actress across the bridge on Abbott Street there lives this girl she used to be still half naked she falls in traffic hey dumb ass kid heres your dumb ass live back I won't come back crawling again some may fear just your name for me I wish it was the same I'm still waiting for somebody to fix this damage to my body some may fear the future breeds these drunken sailors planting seeds I'll just need this cheque to clear so I can check right out of here this merry-go-round has spun itself into the ground and an eighth of me knows that an eighth of this ilfe is still fun as hell but they breed you better babe bred you better they bred you better than me
Blame me for the elevator - I know you will
It's not me who's the operator but you're going down
You'll be sorry when you're singing all alone
But don't take me up
I'll just fall down once again
Don't take me up
I'll just fall down
Wake me when you're educated - I know you will
You'll be self-medicated - you're spinning round
You'll be there, but no one will even know your name
But don't take me up
I'll just fall down once again
Don't take me up
I'll only find my way back down
Don't take me up
I'll only find my way back down
Don't take me up
It's true I've dabbled at times with confident lines
I was half of a man nearly half of the time
In an innocent way, I thought it could stay with us both on the ground
With us fooling around
Let's just stay on the ground
Let's stay fooling around on the ground
Don't take me up
I'll just fall down like I knew that I would.
Don't take me up
I'll only find my way back down
Don't take me up
I got my head shaved for her
because she told me it would do all the right things for my identity.
I never knew that it would;
I never knew that it could;
I think perhaps because it makes no difference.
Hold me down Aveda!
Hold me down... it feels so right.
All I know is what I've been told.
I got all done up for her
because she told me it would do something to correct my identity.
I never knew that I should;
I never knew that I would;
I think perhaps because it makes no difference.
I can't articulate it; consistently frustrated;
her discontent over my identity.
I never knew that itwould;
I never knew that it could;
Let's be honest, we're all criminals here so take the halo down
Autograph hunters making legends out of scumbags from a better town
21 at midnight, it's a curse of a man who'd kill to put it off
Wrestling grizzly bears just to draw a crowd
a crowd that would have jumped at dogs
When you're 21 at midnight you act like a man
look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
your tombstone in hand
you fight so hard to give away for free what you'll just want again
a virtual who's-who of the who-cares, the self appointed king and queen
Better off jester rather tame the troops than fertilize the village green
hey I knew you back in 1999, I know you don't forget
Obligations plague you still why can't you shed em yet?
When you're 21 at midnight you act like a man
look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
your tombstone in hand
you fight so hard to give away for free what you'll just want again
you'll just want again
And on this night in a border town
you'll wave goodbye to your father's son
And on this night in a drunken brawl
you'll say hello to your poor child's father
who's 21 at midnight
he thinks he's a man
look him in the eyes and say what you just said to me then
21 at midnight
your tombstone in hand
you fight so hard to give away for free what you will just want again
I found a soldier in a box
A souvenir that someone lost at such a cost
The cemetery gates were closed
Only the humming birds would smell the flowers brought for ghosts
There's not much fame or fortune
For the fortuneteller selling fortunes to the broke
Soldier in a box... he's mighty lonely
Soldier in a box... he's nothing special
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself
"No need to say this letter better get to where he lays his head!" she said
Seventeen months of wondering why she forgot to send her thoughts was all he got instead
Her soldier in a box... he's mighty lonely
Soldier in a box... he's nothing special
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody's there
He's serenading himself
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
There's a gentleman who's not so gentle cuz he's too generous with his chit and his chat
So lately we've been discussing a way to rid this disgusting example of ample gossip and gab
All we hear is La La La...
He's a gentleman who plays a caricature of a character he wishes he was
So lately we've been ignoring all his stories as we smile and nod
and let him simply do what he does
So watch out
And everybody's got the same story:
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
But maybe that's ok
Soon this gentleman was barking louder when his biting harder didn't earn him respect
But lately we've been too proud to admit that we all might miss him just a bit
now that he's packed up and left
What did we do?
And everybody's got the same story:
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
But maybe that's ok
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
And now he's gone for good
It's not enough to hear me say you've won
You only wanted me for having fun
But now I think you've gone and had your way
And left me with a pile of bills to pay
I can't even rewind the tape machine
To listen to your drunken reasoning
So here it is - your final lullaby
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So Goodnight
I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listen to any one of them
You're never gonna drag me out again
With all the people that were never ever even your friends
So here it is - your final lullaby
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight
A little bit of rain I'd say is fair
But when it starts to thunder they all stare
This isn't goodnight, this is goodbye...
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
Everybody is waiting for everybody to get out
I'll join 'em talking 'bout the people everybody talk about
And all the pretty people party while the petty people pout
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
We could have given up early when it was dark still, not light
Now it's the 48th hour of a two-day night
And all the pretty people party while the petty people fight
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
A jack-of-all-trades and a master of none
Why do I have to be bored with being foolish and young?
The show isn't over, but I'm long since gone
I feel like I let them down when I don't wanna trade my sunshine for a cloudy night
But everybody's pretending the sun won't ever come out
I'll join 'em talking 'bout whatever everybody talks about
And all the pretty people party while the petty people shout
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
I don't wanna wait anymore
Wake up cinnamon
They can't get in and that's them at the door,
Cuz checkout time is noon and pretty soon it's a quarter to four
I don't wanna wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
Small town girls and boys make too much noise so I keep to myself
But acting tough is rough - enough is enough - I feel like hell
Tied up in London, you came undone with a two handed tug
With pieces of a phone, thrown at the door, spread out on the rug
I don't wanna wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away
And end this awful holiday
Come and play, come and stay, and end this awful holiday
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away and end this awful holiday
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth

He was in the habit of taking things for granted
Granted, there wasn't much for him to take
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd never change
Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him
that talk is even cheaper told in bulk
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder
He'd never change
And so she yelled at him:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time
She was in the habit of reapplying makeup
Makeup eaten up by crocodile tears
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change
Overtly individual - covertly traditional
She couldn't seem to make up her mind
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change
And so he yelled at her:
And so she yelled at him:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time
Oh... Is it real? I don't know
But, I'll act as if it is
What's our deal? I don't know
But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is
If it is, then this might just work
They were in the habit of taking things for granted
Granted, they never quite knew what they had
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder they'd never change
And so they yelled out loud:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get
Regular exposure to insecticide has caused me to break out in hives.
I'm losing weight. I cannot wait till Saturday...
cuz on Saturday, my tax deductions make me function like a blue collar...
white collar...? ...I don't know -so I gotta hollar
"Oh! Oh Goddamnit! I think I've lost it!
Oh God! Goddamnit, I think I've lost you!
Anti-oxidants have got me causing accidents
because my wine is spiked with pomegranite.
If you've got just one, then slam it.
"Oh! Oh Goddamnit! I think I've lost it!
Oh God! Goddamnit, I think I've lost you!
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I bet you feel no pain. Mercy!
Expect a rivalry.
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I'm losing at this game. No fair!
Why don't you seem to care.
Lack of consequence has got me making decisions
based upon truth or dare decision making.
No faking.
I end up taking karate.
She's naughty... I call shotty!
My body will never live up to these expectations...
I still make invitations.
"Oh! Oh Goddamnit! I think I've lost it!
Oh God! Goddamnit, I think I've lost you!
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I bet you feel no pain. Mercy!
Expect a rivalry.
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I'm losing at this game. No fair!
Why don't you seem to care.
Oh! Oh Goddamnit. I think I've lost it
and I think that I've lost you.
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I think that I'm losing this game (I bet you feel no..)
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
Gonna walk right through this town
and laugh with a crowd of strangers chasing me.
Never stop to look behind my back,
so tell me what they said
because I fear my life's in danger now in this town.
How did you get to my motel -do tell soon.
Gonna walk right through this town again
with a crowd of strangers watching me,
picking every little thing apart.
So, tell me what they said
because I get attitude from this town -in this town.
How did you get to this town?
...Through this town?
Gonna walk right through this town again
knowing that I'm only here tonight.
Never cared to stop and say hello;
so, tell me what they said
because I don't have time to hang around in this town.
Maybe... maybe I should think to stay.
Maybe I won't ever return.
Maybe... maybe I should stop and play.
Gonna walk right through this town again.
But, all I know is I really should be on my way.
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?
Running with scissors wasn't smart
I tripped and cut open your heart
I didn't mean to, but I seem to
Have pushed us back to the start
In the wake of my mistake
I felt your voice starting to shake
The timing couldn't have been worse
For me to be this far away
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?
Traveled the world under your spell
Cast on me in a motel
It turned my rain clouds in to rainbows
But I couldn't even tell
As days apart turned in to weeks
My memory played hide and seek
While I was playing show n' tell
I took your trust and set it free
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?
Running with scissors wasn't smart
I tripped and cut open your heart
I didn't mean to, but I seem to
Have pushed us back to the start
In the wake of my mistake
I felt your voice starting to shake
The timing couldn't have been worse
You got to save us! S-O-S!
I'm out of gas. I'm out out of touch.
Shipwrecked ferry... marry me -or take me out to lunch.
No, I won't be coming home.
Tell her that I still am on the road.
Make sure she knows that I would change it if I could.
There's an exit door and it won't open up for me!
There's an exit door and it won't open up!
You see? I heard a tick-tock, tick-tock, tick... talk to you on the phone.
Ring-Ring... though I know that nobody's home.
Why not? Why not I ask?
Why can't we be creative?
Some days are gonna be diamonds some days are just gonna be stones
Some days the reaper isn't looking so grim some days the past is the only mine that has gold
But don't get too heavy
Don't get so intense
Don't make you this party's problem
No one put a gun to your head
Nobody's accusing you of having a good time
Some days you're crawling forwards some days you're spinning backwards
Some days your bullshit detector's turned off some days a medieval torture test won't even trigger a cough
Don't get too petty
don't be so exact
You can't let go you can't relax
A payment plan for heart attacks
you got your money who's got your back
Why can't we all just start from scratch
Examine these scribbles and half of it's drivel
I sorta went apeshit
You somehow still make it so mellow and to that I say hello
Examine these facial expressions
My late night obsession is creeping its way into everything I think of
You fit me like a ski glove
I need a goddess on the prairie to drag me away
I need a goddess on the prairie to keep me somewhat sane
You're secretly ridiculous
Unconsciously meticulous
Magnetically you pull from me the words a proper man wouldn't touch on
You hear it like a love song
If there was a god for a witness she'd know mental fitness was not top priority for me but that don't phase you so far
You treat me like a new car
If tidal waves hit you gonna swim to bottom and get you
Tsunamis hit you gonna swim to bottom and get you
If tidal waves hit you I'll swim to the bottom
Hid his car in the back
Payed a kid to watch his glass don't crack
See him greeted by his made up name in the stairwell of his favorite parkade
He prays for my blind eye
He was lost
He was found with a boy in a pillbox hat on the wrong side of town for a man who wears a suit like that
He prays for my blind eye
I pray for his new bride
Transatlantic transactions under covers covering up an attraction
Blood on a pillow with a pregnant wife and kids
He prays that nobody knows nobody cares
He prays that nobody sees nobody stares
Don't let the kids find you out
Father figure of the new millennium: \"Life's too short for me to just live one
Money's money kid - that's fact
Who are they to say what I put back?\"
He prays for my blind eye
I pray for his new bride
He prays for my blind eye
I pray for his new wife
