This day, so grey
Betray, and decay
You said I slay
But your mind was so blind
You could never understand
My point of view
Despair, beware
This nightmare can impair
You swore no more
But I knew where this was leading to
You could never understand
My point of view
Could you
Anyway, you will take what you need.
Anyway, you will take it from me.
Straight, straight, straight to the ledge.
Loose yourself in the sound.
Look out over the edge.
I know how you’ll go down.
Anyway, you will get what you want.
Why should I wait for that day to come?
Straight, straight, straight to the ledge.
One last smile and you’re gone.
Step out over the edge
as if nothing is wrong.
It will be quick and painless and easy.
Quick and painless and easy.
I don’t want you to leave me
but you’ll go anyway.
Straight, straight, straight to the ledge.
Loose yourself in the sound.
Look out over the edge.
I know how you’ll go down.
It will be quick and painless and easy.
Quick and painless and easy.
I don’t want you to leave me
but you’ll go anyway.
Anyway…
Anyway
She’s in love again, oh yeah
Rise above again, oh yeah
His number’s fading on her hand
And it’s a day to remember
Shallow, shallow
Shallow, shallow
What an easy game to play
What a perfect thing to say
He tells her ‘you’re the world to me’
ÔWhy don’t we dive in together’
Shallow, shallow
Shallow, shallow
Sun dies on a beautiful show
Dream on ’cause there’s nowhere to go
He’ll say what she’s wanted to know
Over and over, forever
Shallow, shallow
All we ever had to be
All we ever wanted to be
Sleeping late.
Wasting the day away.
I don’t care what they say.
I’m gonna stay in bed for a while.
Sleeping late.
Everything’s down the drain.
Everything stays the same.
I’m gonna wait right here for a while.
I don’t care what I’ve been missing.
You can call but I won’t listen to anything you say.
I know it can wait.
I know it can wait.
Sleeping late.
Letting the time go by.
Letting my mind run dry.
I’m gonna disappear for a while.
Sleeping late.
Wait ’till the sun goes down.
Maybe I’ll come around
when all the streets are empty and quiet.
I don’t care what I’ve been missing.
You can call but I won’t listen to anything you say.
I know it can wait.
I know it can wait
She’s reformed.
Just like the neighbor’s girl.
She’s coming home
into her wonder-world.
She’s moving fast.
She’s a superstar.
She’s getting high.
She covers up her scars.
It’s the best thing she’s ever had.
It’s the best thing she’s ever had.
She’s reformed.
Just like the neighbor’s girl.
She’s coming home
wearing her fine-pressed curls.
She’s driving fast.
She took the family car.
She’s getting high.
She’s never slipped so far.
It’s the best thing she’s ever had.
It’s the best thing she’s ever had.
She’s reformed.
She took the family car.
She’s getting high.
She’s never slipped so far.
It’s the best thing she’s ever had.
It’s the best thing she’s ever had.
It’s the best thing she’s ever had.
It’s the best thing she’s ever had
