When logics die And the place of sadness I occupy with dignity Was left like a dream among stones And the words that you spill From the mouth that you fill They abandon their grace and fatigue Oh, to feel without touching And speak without talking You'll spill The tissues of lies How I wish we could mend this Or learn how to throw away As we look for someone to blame Love's been denied Don't be polite I owe you nothing When logics die I'm the orgy and the distant cool The friend you will never fool I like the way you oppose me Let the last thoughtd languish And try and distinguish You'll spill the tissues of lies How I wish we could mend this Or learn how to throw away As we look for someone to blame Love's been denied Don't be polite I owe you nothing When logics die Much against evryone's advice I Seem to have a history At missing the point At this stuff Apparently Very absentmindedly I care But never enough For ..

If time ever tries to pull one of those stunts again, You'd better believe, it ain't me, it ain't me. 'cause everything you try to conceal Is everything you want to reveal Flying without wings I wish I just couldn't feel a thing It goes to show: you never know More than this Guess I had it coming Ambition is my worst vice Next thing I know Time is having it's way with me Working hard at putting skin on baloney It all makes sense in some way I forget right now Somehow I manage to fool Myself and everyone else That this is really just Only, maybe, only, Just the meantime Meantime Frequent liar mileage As if I had a choice Limp to the edge of patience And let yourself fall Wearing out mirrors All over the world I hope I can get far playing Air guitar In the meantime Meantime There has to be more than this There has to be more than this Somehow I manage to fool Myself and everyone else That this is really just Only, maybe, only, Just the meantime Meantime There has to be more than this Too many DJ's Everybody wants to be the dj Everybody thinks it's oh so easy You think you belong and you come on strong, But I can still tell the right from the wrong. I could never be that kind of girl Nobody takes the time to turn You always act as if it's understood, But sweet revenge is finger-lickin' good If only I could sell myself The way that even I would buy If only I could sell myself The way that even I would buy Something's got to give 'cause I don't know Here's one thing how to understand me Loneliness tastes like cotton candy. You answer "I love you" with "I know", Never check the messages on your answerphone If only I could sell myself The way that even I would buy Something's got to give 'cause I don't know Temptingly yours Maybe I'm wrong But I could've sworn I saw your eye twitch. Didn't object, What did you expect? Now I have to tell you: Don't come back to tempt me. I'm happy in my misery. You asked what I did, I did what you asked, But I couldn't get it Right from the start You went for my heart, Now I have to ask you Don't come back to tempt me. I'm happy in my misery. It was your idea in the first place And I know it takes two but on certain days I try not to think of how it would be if.... I don't pretend To know where it ends Wish I could care less. One time I cried more In 1994 But that doesn't count I guess. Scream Like she was scream I try to hear What's in my dreams I gotta fear I cannot breathe Please hold me tight I try to feel Don't talk so fast This radioactive she What she does to me Caught her inside, cuts like a knife She's like a scream to me I'm not afraid I cannot help There's no disguise, no alibies What do I think I cannot say Something about me Like she was here This radioactive she What she does to me Caught her inside, cuts like a knife She's like a scream to me Funny WASN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY?
