Lyrics
Don't know exactly how I feel
Don't know exactly how I feel today
You know I've been preoccupied
It's crossing up my mind
It's taking up your time
You know that nothing get's erased
Something always leaves a trace I know
Now it's later than before
We've closed a certain door
We've shut a certain gate
***
All the pseudo-blond and -bosomed girls
With straight white teeth and straighter posture
Turn on dis-ingenuous smiles
And hint there's more to that pearly offer.
They'll take you down a perilous path
In shiny rides worth lots of jack...
Red, I think it suits the mood,
Espresso high you settle back.
...espresso high you settle back.
Neon ribbons rocket by
At speeds that streamline all the colors;
So self-assured, you side-step thought...
Beneath that wall the demons hover.
Take another stitch on your quilt of shame,
Both blissful and horrific times
Have helped you find out who you are
And knowing this can set you free.
...knowing this can set you free.
Cut to the chase...cut to the quick,
God, I thought you'd never quit
Strutting your stuff and acting so cool
(I'm glad your Mamma never knew
She raised such a fool).
You can dream to me
I can dream to you
Together we'll think
We've played the game
Cause and effect: Some call it Fate,
But the only thing that stays the same is change.
...only thing that stays the same is change.
