All this intrusion's got me knocked right off my feet don't ring the bell, just c'mon in Have a drink, have a seat Man, you've got plans I can tell that but can't understand why when it's all panned out, you're asking for another handout Everybody wants a piece Aged solutions for new problems: that's the way we prefer to run things 'round these parts so baby, don't stray if this feels too familiar you'll sleep tight knowing you're safe here wait here, I've got answers Poems known to clear up cancers and everybody wants a piece Everybody wants a piece Why would I lie? I can't tame that beast He'll treat you like a scrap of meat Why would I lie to you? Dropped the instructions on the way to find your soul Each hazy moment flies by as you die not to grow old Complaining to raindrops, Screaming lonesome at the bus stop Fun as it was, You've got to give it up because you know Everybody wants a piece

Walkin' through this city with a tear in my visual This feeling is miss-able, though my heart is still visible I'm dating this girl, I don't remember her middle name Can't say that I care too much, she thinks it's a pretty thing While my perception is just a little bit off tonight I'll be here when you get back, still trying to make this right I wish I could tell you that I'm in it to win you I've seen how these things work out, there's nothing that you can do I knew it all along that she'd be there She lusted for loving like a hunger to satiate I couldn't have listened less so I chose to deviate I made a pact to rely solely on loving lust now I'm all by myself, just look how I've ended up I knew it all along that she'd be there I'll play your favourite songs You can tell me when I'm wrong I'll do everything I can to make this your week

She's got a knack for staying out of touch Scoffs at the crime of sticking out too much chewing greeny leather like it's going out style with a daisy in her hair, she cracks a pearly smile and the smoke seeps from between her teeth Get it together, little girl Gloating 'bout a cleanse, singin' hey, good for you That brittle body bends and allows to bend the truth Wasn't born a blonde like her picture'd have you think swears she's only wasted 'cause she really never drinks but there's lipstick on half of the empties Get it together, little girl Camus was a genius Buk was a slob This book really gets me because I don't believe in God It's best in the big city, all her old friends suck why treat an infection when prescriptions are just luck? but Molly dances on through her circulatory system Kurt was a martyr Frank knew the mob this band really gets me I'll never be a snob The party's hot in here but she's lookin' over there pullin' all the stops in fear of getting dropped when she's picked up as a chameleon Get it together, Little Girl

Go get it get out where it's sunny I'd take you there but don't have the money and I'd hate to leave you hung up from my teasin', honey I've got no other reasons I'll just say I've got no other reasons We don't have anything in common and I can only offer nothing We don't have anything in common 'cause I've got nothing I say all I can say, I say no comment, Though I know that we have everything in common Whenever I land on my feet Well, you bet you'll be the first face I do tell Maybe then I'll let you in on how hard that I fell for you You're what I believe in when I've got no other reasons

I picked you up in a heartbreak neighbourhood Several years ago, when the sun melted the snow That's how I met you You had every man under your thumb Some still call you home and some just sit home alone 'cause they don't want no one else You should be ashamed for everything you've done You came and went with the worst intentions and you pissed off everyone We gave you our hearts and you ripped them all apart Some nights we cry on each other's shoulders and we wonder where you are Somehow I miss you We used to walk until our legs were broken, stained with grass and blood we used to be so young sometimes we still are I used to drive you to the DMV so you could fuck the owner, get us fake IDs For every mile I would hate you But I would love you too I still have your maps, but you can have them back something tells me you don't know where the hell you are I'll take back my heart and clean off all the tar The remnants left from the cigarettes that we'd smoke in my car Somehow I miss you
