In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection |
|
Slowly screwing my way across Europe, they had to make a correction |
|
Broken and smoking where the infrared deer plunge in the digital snake |
|
I tell you, they make it so you can't shake hands when they make your hands shake |
|
I know you like to line dance |
|
Everything so democratic and cool |
|
But baby, there's no guidance when random rules |
|
I know that a lot of what I say has been lifted off of men's room walls |
|
Maybe I've crossed the wrong rivers and walked down all the wrong halls |
|
But nothing can change the fact that we used to share a bed |
|
And that's why it scared me so when you turned to me and said |
|
Yeah, you look like someone |
|
Yeah, you like someone who up and left me low |
|
Boy, you look like someone I used to know |
|
I know you like to line dance |
|
Everything so democratic and cool |
|
But baby, there's no guidance when random rules |
|
I asked a painter why the roads are colored black |
|
He said, "Steve, it's because people leave and no highway will bring them back" |
|
So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger |
|
But before I go, I gotta ask you, dear, about the tan line on your ring finger |
|
No one should have two lives |
|
Now you know my middle names are wrong and right |
|
Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight |
|
To give tonight |
|
To give tonight |
