- life used to be life-like
- now it's more like show biz
- i wake up in the night
- and i don't know where the bathroom is
- and i don't know what town i'm in
- or what sky i am under
- and i wake up in the darkness and i
- don't have the will anymore to wonder
- everyone has a skeleton
- and a closet to keep it in
- and you're mine
- every song has a you
- a you that the singer sings to
- and you're it this time
- baby, you're it this time
- when i need to wipe my face
- i use the back of my hand
- and i like to take up space
- just because i can
- and i use my dress
- to wipe up my drink
- i care less and less
- what people think
- and you are so lame
- you always disappoint me
- it's knida like our running joke
- but it's really not funny
- i just want you to live up to
- the image of you i create
- i see you and i'm so unsatisfied
- i see you and i dilate
- so i'll walk the plank
- and i'll jump with a smile
- if i'm gonna go down
- i'm gonna do it with style
- and you won't see me surrender
- you won't hear me confess
- 'cuz you've left me with nothing
- but i've worked with less
- and i learn every room long enough
- to make it to the door
- and then i hear it click shut behind me
- and every key works differently
- i forget every time
- and the forgetting defines me
- that's what defines me
- when i say you sucked my brain out
- the english translation
- is i am in love with you
- and it is no fun
- but i don't use words like love
- 'cuz words like that don't matter
- but don't look so offended
- you know, you should be flattered
- i wake up in the night
- in some big hotel bed
- my hands grope for the light
- my hands grope for my head
- the world is my oyster
- the road is my home
- and i know that i'm better
- off alone
