lyrics

so many ways to feel sorry
grey as the days hang over me
i’m tired
but i’m wired
all fired up for the morning

thanks for the chanson francaise
thanks for the champagne and oj
you can’t say
that we don’t play
even when we gotta work in the morning

this little incident will unfold
to expose all the dissonance in our souls
you can’t fall in love with an obstacle
and we’re impossible
and we know but let’s keep pretending

come on baby don’t be cruel now
don’t you play me for a fool oh no
you’re lovely
i’m ugly
see i need you to pretty up my gene pool

your first mistake was to listen
cause i’m a prison and my words are bars
that you can’t break
so don’t engage in the first place
am i the worst case?

this little incident will unfold
to expose all the dissonance in our souls
you can’t fall in love with an obstacle
and i’m impossible
and i know you’re not satisfied
with the lies
oh when we break promises to ourselves
it’s giving you hell
i can’t stand by anymore
i won’t come by anymore
so take care of yourself
