Lyrics

[00:30.95] He tries to embrace her
[00:32.80] She wants him to race her
[00:35.08] He needs a laser
[00:37.70] To get it through her skull
[00:40.31] Means and lies and hatreds
[00:43.33] Tears that fall in sequence
[00:44.99] Cold caress imprints
[00:47.24] Conversation growing dull
[00:49.89] Says, he's a poet, lousy protozoan
[00:54.65] And he kisses ass for free
[00:59.39] I took a vow of silence
[01:01.92] When he tries to talk to me
[01:04.41] I just turn on the TV
[01:08.86]
[01:09.48] He tries to impress her
[01:11.73] Mentally undress her
[01:13.98] It takes more to possess her
[01:16.26] But in his pocket lies a hole
[01:19.02] He's got a thousand talents
[01:21.36] Charisma by the bagful
[01:23.90] Aristocratic parents
[01:26.15] A rebel with a heart of gold
[01:28.42] Says, he's a poet
[01:30.63] This time, he's gonna blow it
[01:33.35] 'Cause he's dancing with his ego
[01:38.20] I took a vow of silence
[01:40.73] When he reads his work to me
[01:43.17] I swallow words like a Placebo
[01:49.41]
[01:50.30] He's strutting with your flesh mechanic
[01:53.06] Gets him in a panic
[01:55.50] He's wasting time
[01:59.14] 'Cause everybody is a star in his eyes
[02:06.55]
[02:46.51] Careful not to give your favors
[02:49.09] To your lonesome fucked-up neighbors
[02:51.48] I had one who sent me her heart
[02:53.78] In a Tupperware container
[02:55.92] All the movies in my head
[02:57.73] They flicker with my bleeding heart
[03:00.19] A careless slipping of the tongue
[03:02.65] On just another private part
[03:05.69] Blatant search for stoned affection
[03:10.52] Fights the rust that breeds infection
[03:14.95] Meet me at the intersection
[03:19.97] Don't forget your fuel injection
[03:23.91]
[03:26.19] He's strutting with your flesh mechanic
[03:28.95] Gets him in a panic
[03:31.53] He's wasting time
[03:35.66] 'Cause everybody is a star in his eyes
[03:42.72]
[04:01.60]
[04:02.78] You think this love is bona fide
[04:07.45] You're being taken for a ride
[04:12.63] Wrap your lip around your head
[04:16.44] And slowly blow yourself away
