|
This is your new thing now |
|
Naked as a rose |
|
Everything exposed |
|
But not quite |
|
This is your new thing now |
|
Cards out on the table |
|
A genius with no label |
|
But not quite, not quite |
|
God, I swear it's good to be back home |
|
Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone |
|
All the other girls are still at war |
|
The best and worst of 1994 |
|
Sometimes I see the half and not the whole |
|
Sometimes I see the face and not the soul |
|
Sometimes I think this place has no part |
|
For anyone who ever had a heart |
|
This is your new thing now |
|
And it looks so good in print |
|
Just a poet and her pimps |
|
But not quite |
|
This is your new thing now |
|
A prom dress and a sneer |
|
The woman of the year |
|
But not quite, not quite |
|
Gee, it's good to see a dream come true |
|
People smile and bless all over you |
|
Mixing up those latest junkie-isms |
|
With all the pretty terms of religion |
|
And don't you love the leader of the band |
|
Equal parts Butthead and Peter Pan |
|
All the other kids are sad again |
|
A legend's not a legend 'til it ends |
|
This is your new thing now |
|
And it makes the whole world spin |
|
It's as least as old as sin |
|
But not quite |
|
This is your new thing now |
|
And now you're turning grinning |
|
But maybe no one's listening |
|
And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might |
|
This is your new thing now |
|
And it feels so good to doubt you |
|
I could almost live without you |
|
But not quite |
