about

This is a song about wanting to be anywhere else than where you are.

lyrics

In the interest of self-disclosure,
I'm as close as I think I ought to be.
It's gotta be a goddamn gong-show every night
in this city of broken dreams!
I wanna be far away from this place:
these mistakes and memories...
I've made mistakes...
I've had big days and bloodied knees!

Everybody please calm down! There's no need to panic!
Looks like the rebels took the town
and they caused a lot of damage!
Hey look at me now, I'm at the top of all the wreckage...
got the devil's twisted smile and I'm sending out a message...
...hope you get it!

Well, I guess I fall in love a little easier than most...
terrified of women but I get along with ghosts.
Hope that you don't mind if I just move a little closer to you.
Dance with me, I can't believe the energy that's moving through you.
How do we simply make-believe that everything we feel is chemical reaction?
Fatal attraction.

This is one for the good-books, the looks that'll kill...
the crooks and the cops and the hookers that pop pills...
"This little f**ker's got skill!"
And I don't rest until you suckers see that this is real!
It's right before your very eyes, so just chill...
...like a cherry pie cooling on the window-sill.

Can you picture it? The vivid imagery?
That's what you're gettin' every time that you listen to me.
I'm a professional, impressionable individual,
living in circumstances: unimaginable...psychological damage!
I've had enough of this "stuff"
and materialistic advantage...
and superficial desires...
I've f**king finally had it!
I'm really mad at the planet...
or maybe just at the people!
The f**king man in the mirror is being
completely unreasonable!
