I've got the gift of one liners
And you've got the curse of curves
And with this gift I compose words
And the question that comes forward
Are you perspiring from the irony
Or sweating to these lyrics
And this just in
You're a dead fit
But my wit won't allow it
The inside lingo had me at hello
And we go where the money goes
The inside lingo had me at hello
And we go where the money goes

Saw you laughing aloud to your friends when I was across the room,
I was across the room.
I'm sick of standing alone when you’re here.
Who’s good enough for you?
Who’s good enough for you?

Well it’s only love it’s not real anyways.
It’s only love, it’s not real.
You’re gonna die in somebody else’s arms
And I have to live with that.
You’re gonna die in somebody else’s arms
And I have to live with that.

Play dead, cause I’ll be playing dead with you.
I’ll play you when you’re dead in a year or two.

Can you please point me to your chemicals?
I need to feel like I’ve got rocks in my eyelids.
The only superhero I’ve ever known was you, about 5 years ago.
It was you about 5 years ago.

What if you find out
Everyone that's in your life
Is only being paid off
By a T.V. studio
And every conversation
Everyone's had with you
Was scripted by the writers
Living in Los Angeles

Smile for the camera

Put on a show for the viewers back home
Hide the truth so they'll never know
You hate what you got
Can't you love what you got?
So smile for the cameras that keep rolling

The world is spinning way too fast.
The entire human race, will fall into space.
So fill your shoes with cement,
And kiss the ones you love,
With reckless abandonment.
