lyrics

Oh, the whole world’s a heartbreak:
It’s not enough to stay alive, still every baby’s gotta cry.
You take it as an inspiration,
so you’re the celebrated queen of just barely getting by.

Don’t speak of tomorrow and much less today, nor of truth and lies— what does it matter anyway?

Just don’t fuck me over.

Here in the crotch of the cliché,
here in the belly of a world that is aching for to die,
I wonder do I disappoint you,
or is it only me who’s expectations are so high.

I find the whole thing rather charming,
that every spasm of my will just prolongs the fantasy,
and so I’m trapped behind my closed eyes,
as you list the things we’ll buy when we win the lottery.

Don’t speak of tomorrow and much less today, nor of truth and lies— what does it matter anyway?

Just don’t fuck me over.

Don’t fuck me over.

Don’t fuck me over. Don’t fuck me.

Spoiled for choice don’t make me free,
this is a necessity.

We can hardly think we’ll make it on on on.

It’s not what it’s supposed to be
(whatever that’s suppose to mean).

We can hardly think we’ll make it on on on.
