If you see me/on a corner/will you stop or will you splash me' Take a look at/what we've become/nothin more than silhouettes of A pretty family/on a postcard/picture perfect i dont want it! Chorus: So I hold my breath till my heart/explodes! cause this is how it is and this is how it/goes! you can steal my body but you cant sell my soul Cause/this is how it is and this is how it goes! verse 2 Shitty weather/bad timing/lucky penny glued to the ground dirty look from/a total stranger/hope you get lost and you're not found! Take a look at/what we've become/nothin more than silhouettes of A pretty family/on a postcard/picture perfect i dont want it! Chorus this is/how it/it goes! this is/how it/it goes! Introlude So unscrew my head/and rinse it out! polish my thoughts/turn into doubts! Chorus Have fun with this song and if you have any problems DEAL WITH IT (or email me @ phrank@nirvanaweb.com
