lyrics

Oh, how obscene
we were right to be there in the street
in our jeans, with our mouths open wide at the scene
of a girl and her dying dog
with her mouth open wide in blue overalls
she was scanning the scene
for the people she needs.

But I choose what I do
by the weights that erect in my hands
and I could stand to be a bit more endearing when I talk,
and when I walk away, and when I stand up straight.

So please,
I agree I am all skin and bones when I speak
and it would seem like I never really cared
but I'll fake it like an actor
with a mouth full of teeth and the money thereafter
I was punching at air
I was punch drunk and weird
wishing you never died.

And the men that you thought you loved
they were only boys in dress up.
