GSo, you wanted
That's what you get for wDanting
You got it
That's what you get for gEmetting
Forgotten
You're gardening a rBotting bed
Of raygun-era icons
GSo
Let's start it
Let's start it
From the mDinute you felt it
You felt it like a prEmison
A panic, you felt it
Like that cBoffee scene
From Moscow on the Hudson
GSo
...Be honest
It's not as if you're hDappy about it
It's not as if you're Emanimatronic
It's not as if you cCouldn't
Cry out any time you wanted
OClly olly oxen free
ADll the people you will never be
OClly olly oxen free
ODlly olly olly olly
Olly olly olly olly
FGate
You call it
You color it
The cDolor you want it
You carpet it
That's Emawful convenient
You paint yourself a nBice white room
With stripes and matching curtains
GSo
You forfeit
You cannot build a rDiver across it
You cannot hold your Emown heart hostage
You do not have the strCength
To gag yourself in every closet
The wrGong place, wrong mind
Timing's always bad
You're such a sDad case
Misplaced renaissance
Inventor of a wEmorldwide
Heartbreak, taking it in stride
'Cause you're an Cexpert
Aren't you?
Aren't you just a dime a dozen?
MGurderous monosyllabic moron
With no sense of purpose
WDorking on your songs all night
To justify your worthlessness
To Emanyone who's watching
If they only saw your alter egos
PrCetty in the shop windows
Where you got auctioned hours ago
COlly olly oxen free
DAll the people you will never be
COlly olly oxen free
Dolly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
SCee no evil, hear no evil
CDapture me and throw the key
SCee no evil, hear no evil
CDapture me and throw the key away
Throw the key away
GSo
It's over
You're lying in a cDoffin of clutter
Your father and your sEmister, your drummer
Are sorting through your SBoft Cell tapes
And lifesaver collection, aGnd you wonder
You wonder if you coDuld've done better
You wonder if you shEmould've surrendered
Before you learned that
NCobody actually wants a fucking martyr
DCidn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see?
DDidn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see?
DCidn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see me?
DDidn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see me?
COlly olly oxen free
DAll the people you will never be
COlly olly oxen free
Dolly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
SCee no evil, hear no evil
CDapture me and throw the key
SCee no evil, hear no evil
CDapture me and throw the key away
ThCrow the key away
ThDrow the key away
