i keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been

i looked for your name on the ouija board, and your naked magic, oh, dear lord

my mind is a safe, and if i keep it in we all get rich

an-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-nother day goes by, so hold me tight, hold me tight, or don't

tongues on the sockets of electric dreams, where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens

and this crystal ball is only cloudy except for when you look into the past

the only thing worse than not knowing is you thinking that i don't know

but at the end of the day you know those busted lips we take back home

we're the lifers, here 'til the bitter end, condemned from the start

if there were any more left of me, i'd give it to you

put him in the back of a squad car, restrain that man, he needs his head put through a cat scan

and we're all in the back singing "roxanne", just watching life pass us by

we're friends when you're on your knees

when i was younger i couldn't wait for the days to pass, now i know they'll never last

hang on a rope or bated breath, whichever you prefer

oh, but you don't know me anymore, we're going low, low, low, low

and walking out on you's still the best thing that i ever did

this is a black, black ski mask song, so put all of your anger on

i must have dragged my guts a block, they were gone by the time we (talked)

she wants to dance like uma thurman, bury me 'til i confess

we must make it hard to look so easy doing something so hard

so tell the story again, through a polygraph this time, you're not making out of this

i'm not the way you think i am, no

hey editor, i'm undeniable, hey doctor, i'm certifiable

i'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've sipped back to your family 'cause i know you will be missed

we've been here forever, and here is the frozen proof

we will never believe again, preach electric to a microphone stand

and i know you dressed up, "hey kid, you'll never live this down"

part-time soulmate, full-time problem

cry on the couch, all the poets come to life
