life used to be life-like 
now it's more like showbiz 
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 your 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 dissapoint me 
it's kind of like our running joke 
but it's really not funny 
and 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 dialate 
 
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 everytime 
and 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 works like that don't matter 
but don't look so offended 
you know, you should be flattered 
and i wake up in the night 
in some big hotel bed 
and my hands grope for the light 
and 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
