Life used to be life-like |
|
Now it's more like showbiz |
|
I wake up in the night |
|
And I don't know where the bathroom is |
|
And I don't know what town I'm in |
|
Or what sky I am under |
|
And I wake up in the darkness and I |
|
Don't have the will anymore to wonder |
|
Everyone has a skeleton |
|
And a closet to keep it in and you're mine |
|
Every song has a you, a you that the singer sings to |
|
And you're it this time baby, you're it this time |
|
When I need to wipe my face |
|
I use the back of my hand |
|
And I like to take up space |
|
Just because I can |
|
And I use my dress |
|
To wipe up my drink |
|
I care less and less |
|
What people think |
|
And you are so lame |
|
You always disappointed me |
|
It's kind of like our running joke |
|
But it's really not funny |
|
And I just want you to live up to |
|
The image of you I create |
|
I see you and I'm so unsatisfied |
|
I see you and I dilate |
|
So I'll walk the plank |
|
And I'll jump with a smile |
|
If I'm gonna go down |
|
I'm gonna do it with style |
|
And you won't see me surrender |
|
You won't hear me confess |
|
'Cuz you've left me with nothing |
|
But I've worked with less |
|
And I learn every room long enough |
|
To make it to the door and then I hear it click shut behind me |
|
And every key works differently, I forget every time |
|
And forgetting defines me, that's what defines me |
|
When I say you sucked my brain out |
|
The English translation is I am in love with you |
|
And it is no fun but I don't use words like love |
|
'Cuz works like that don't matter |
|
But don't look so offended |
|
You know, you should be flattered |
|
And I wake up in the night |
|
In some big hotel bed |
|
And my hands grope for the light |
|
And my hands grope for my head |
|
The world is my oyster, the road is my home |
|
And I know that I'm better off alone |
