lyrics

New digs in a plastic town you gotta fresh start and your lingo down you’re in phase but all you ever wanna do is talk about your silly problems last call for your broken luck you gotta work hard just to earn a buck for your pain it seems insane for me to say that money doesn’t snuggle well I don’t wanna be here to lose put yourself in my shoes and help me finish the race I’ll push and pull to the end close my eyes and pretend I want this more than I do sweet dreams little buttercup why don’t you heal me with your golden touch it’s ok you and I we never play nice blue jeans slightly pinkish red it’s always so cold underneath your bed you got AIDS how could you claim you play the game when you don’t even know the rules I don’t wanna be here to lose put yourself in my shoes and help me finish the race I’ll push and pull to the end close my eyes and pretend I got ya bleeding infecting all your dreams and perfecting all these demons for you
