You should see yourself
When will you grow up
Every knob you twist on that machine is like a crutch
But I was just the fool
You've been waiting for
Who says we can't touch
Ourselves to keep from getting bored?
Nothing else is touching that's for sure
A ring around the roses
I will watch you play
I come here every night
It's just me the bartender the waitress and the lights
Shining on you not getting it right
We clap not for you but for your kind
A ring around the roses
Everybody poses
Threats and then backs down
The second you put clothes on
A ring around the roses
Everybody knows it
I will sing your fears
If you sing my neurosis
You should back out now
Not a night too soon
I'll still be here when the last poor soul has left the room
Standing round just like a good friend should
Smiling as if your songs were good
A ring around the roses
Everybody poses
Threats and then backs down
The second you get clothes on
A ring around the roses
Everybody knows it
I will sing your fears
If you sing my neurosis
And i sat there for hours
Waiting on the curb
Thinking you might like a flower from a pretty girl
A ring around the waitress from the verse
A ring of fire around the roses' door
Put it on before you lose your nerve
Put your hands together and they'll hurt*5
Make your sound that no one's ever heard*2
And i hope we get what we deserve
