You've got glue in your feathers |
|
What brought you to this |
|
A flightless bird surrounded by red-handed kids |
|
In their borrowed black sheeps' clothes |
|
Yeah everybody's in on the joke... |
|
So practice your boredom |
|
Look a thousand times removed |
|
'Cause only a freak would sing in a crowded waiting room |
|
They would turn you out in the cold |
|
Now that everybody's in on the joke... |
|
Are you missing a stranger that you might have loved? |
|
Do you feel that there's something you don't feel enough? |
|
There's a perfectly good poison for the perfectly numb |
|
If you want some... |
|
But naming the feeling |
|
Just kills the charade |
|
And if flowers should bloom upon your wallpaper face |
|
It'll follow you everywhere you go |
|
Now everybody's in on the joke. |
|
Desire only burns and |
|
Envy's always green |
|
A mind can only race and a heart can only beat |
|
There's these towering neon signs we must uphold |
|
To keep out the blackness |
|
And run with the blue |
|
Now only a fool would sing as if he's telling the truth |
|
Kid, just swallow down that lump in your throat |
|
Because everybody's in on the joke |
|
Are you missing a stranger that you might have loved? |
|
Do you feel that there's something you don't feel enough? |
|
There's a perfectly good poison..... |
|
Are you missing a stranger that you might have loved? |
|
Do you feel that there's something you don't feel enough? |
|
There's a perfectly good poison for the perfectly numb |
|
If you want some... |
