lyrics

Something is clobbering my dreams
Close my eyes
It’s the same movie on

Always back at work
Can’t escape
Even in the subcon

I look around the shop
Make it stop
Then I kill the Merlot

The job is but a prayer
And I don’t care
Long as you’re there, you know…

I wish I could see you all the time
That’s what that look is for
Oh, I’m aware of everything they say
I’m not that way no more

And when we leave the bar
On your car
I’ll destroy my good name

Well, not so good, in fact
So I retract
I find no friend in shame

But don’t you get me wrong
Been so long
Since I’ve felt so damn shy

Will you baby-sit this mess?
Tell me yes
It’s my favorite reply

I wish I could see you all the time
That’s what that look is for
Oh, I’m aware of everything they say
I’m not that whore no more

If I have to be referee
You’re giving the same look to me
Slow down and face reality
I give it out to you for free

You’re making my heartbeats go fast
The test you don’t know you have passed
I think that we both can agree
I give it out to you for free
