lyrics

Slinking in the shadows drinking from a bottle of lust
Your dignity's long since cynically lost to the dust
She said, "I liked the book more than the movie"
I said, "I know, but it'll all be over soon"
woah woah
Because of you I'm like a man who's lusting
For women who are fractions my old age
Maybe happiness is overrated
Your medicated ghost still knows my name
I tried to believe, I tried to agree it was worth it
I tried so hard to forget it was you all along
One day soon I'll sail to the moon and I'll burn up upon my reentry
And the pundit TV will all foam at the teeth over me
woah woah
If I could go again I'd be a writer with books for sale on supermarket lanes
American eyes would pass my aisles hopes and fears un-reconciled
And everything would be the same
