layered in drugs and self-deception,
maybe your heart suffered brief recollection
“xanax and chill” - spendin’ days in heaven
whitewash your woes, pretend it’s never endin’ -

cadillac prozac, drinks, and the lies
mistake the day for the night sky
mistake “me” for “you and I”
won’t fool me again, won’t pull the wool over my eyes…

the world gets lost, your mouth’s a mystery, woe
we’re dizzily dancin’ round the vince van gogh
i feel like king kong, i took ya, where’d i go?
we’re on a seesaw, just up and down…

rail me some pills, smoke a marlboro
she gazes behind, turn to a pillar of salt
my mind half-empty, a steely blue afterglow
but something distracts me - you're not the one i
think i know...?

(well i was) blinded by drugs and self-deception
maybe in your eyes - i saw my reflection
“xanax and chill” - spendin' days in heaven
white whitewash our woes, pretend it’s never endin’

cadillac prozac, drinks, and the lies,
mistake the day for the night sky
mistake “me” for “you and I”
won’t fool me again, i’ll pull the wool from my eyes

oo, i said it, you ain’t the one for me
oo, i said, please take your bags and leave
cause baby your lies are what i
once believe,
and now that it’s over
we can’t stay self-deceived…

well why’d i feign interest to make you believe?
stick around the morning, serve you coffee, empathy -
we’d laugh at the same time - don’t I believe in telepathy -
fate or destiny? You say to me -

well - i was young, i was insecure
i didn’t believe -
well i was blue - so far gone -
girl, you took care of me

well i’d ask the same if i was you and you was me
remember, same thing happened to Adam and Eve
don’t act surprised, they too were
expelled from the garden of ecstasy…


well bb i know you now -
girl we don’t -
have to try...
if you care about me,
let me live my life...

love floats away quickly -
living in a foggy dream…
don’t be angry
but we’re cured now, we’ve woken, i swear,
i sincerely believe

well bb, take care - why don’t cha -
thank you for your time
you know intimacy is the
hardest thing to find

someone to love
someone to trust
to confide

someone to
hold you through the
lonely, stormy nights…

someone to love
someone to trust
to confide

someone to
hold you through the
lonely, stormy nights…

ooo, i know,
it’s a steely blue afterglow
it’s a bloody seashore after jaws enclose…
i suppose

i thought i loved you for a moment though
i suppose,
dreams confuse those
who don’t read the signs,
along the road

who dive in at times
when the water turns to gold
treat a coffin like a soul
think they’ll never grow old...

breaking-
breaking news, girl
this water
is too cold

this water
it’s too cold

whoa, i know
it’s a steely blue afterglow
