Jack always thought I was a mess But Jill actually says I’m smart Mama encouraged me to think before I talk So I've grown up to never be driven by What’s the right thing to do read I the Bible, Sartre and the Secret too But still I can’t quit Spying on my neighbours, whipsering prayers “Let them fail before I do” Cuz Hell is other people, so are you Ready to dance on my grave too? I hear only what I wanna hear And take what I feel like taking Then build my own moral and right way to live So most people think that I’m a prize But everyone is always surprised When the girl next door has bats in her belfry I -- can’t -- quit Spying on my neighbours, whispering prayers “Let them fail before I do” Cuz Hell is other people, so are you would you dance on my grave too? Right now the world’s not big enough to show how selfless I could be all With of these people casting shadows on me So let’s wait ‘till we’re finally alone on Earth to bring out our best moves… Till then let’s just keep Spying on our neighbours, whispering prayers “Let them fail before I do” Cuz Hell is other people, so will you Keep on dancing Cuz I won’t quit Spying on my neighbours, whispering prayers “Let them fail before I do” Cuz Hell is everyone but you Still I’gonna m dance on your grave too!
