Settle down, you're never told
How could anybody be so bold
Speaking out
I didn't want to make the argument on two fronts
Airlift me out of here
Running so hard, almost in the clear
Wrapped up, you're captured
Now I'm stuck waiting on the rapture
Reaching out for the slamming door
Nobody's ever gotten this close before
Left it in total disarray
And the only thing you wanted was to get away
Too late to apologize
Now I wonder what prompted you to realize
Airbrush all your pictures
Wrap it up and then you turn it into fiction

Go set your spite fire
Pay down those pity debts
Revel in your mock heroism
Collect your crown, it’s 2016
Dig in your disposition
Phony gray and a head condition
Too soon to see through you
Running like you’ve got razors in your heels
Go take your singing lessons
Hard Truths or transgressions?
Scene famous
Now, can you blame us?
Stall out and then you call it a career
Spinning up some false correspondence
Send it out and then you 'reply all'
"You’re getting old, B," that's what you told me
Not very novel, but it sure feels strange
Go take your singing lessons
Hard Truths or transgressions?
Scene famous
Now, can you blame us?
Stall out and then you call it a career
Hey there, pretender
You call this a career?

I hear you're saying that you want me to
But I'm just passing through
Oh yeah, I got it
Yeah, that’s what I want
The conversation it goes on so long
You gotta keep it strong
I think I got it
That's what I tell myself
But I am only a man
I'm gonna focus up the best that I can
Darkening doors, bending necks
All the trouble you expect
I think I got it
Ooh, and I believe it
That’s how we do it
I just like the way you watch your language
How you carry all your baggage
Got the green flags flying
I can't wait for all the pretty messes
The tuxedos and the dresses
And the green flags flying high
Watching our window go from night to day
Keeping that sleep away
Oh, do you see it?
Do ya?
Want you to see the way I run my show
Worried I move too slow
Think I know better
But you know best
But I am only a man
I’m gonna focus up the best that I can
Darkening doors, bending necks
All the trouble you expect
I think I got it
Ooh, and I believe it
That's how we do it
I just like the way you watch your language
How you carry all your baggage
Got the green flags flying
I can't wait for all the pretty messes
The tuxedos and the dresses
And the green flags flying high
So high

Throw it out and never let it go
Take a pill so you can say so
Keep it up because you want it back
You run me over, but I let you
Now go on and say so
You got it just the way you want it
Just the way you want it and say so
You got it just the way you want it
Just the way you
Lock me up and then you have your fun
Go pretend I was the only one
At some point everybody drops the cross
Thought you were on some kind of mission
Now go on and say so
You got it just the way you want it
Just the way you want it and say so
You got it just the way you want it
Just the way you
It doesn’t work when you don’t see it through
You thought my love was gonna save you
Now mark it down before you call it out
I only came for the dance

Pick up quarter ten, better not be late again
Sunset Boulevard punching up the dance card
Broke hearts full-steam, treat me like I’ve never seen
Free-form improvise, best if we don’t act surprised
Broke down no place, counting a familiar face
Old man never go, sorry if I’m moving slow
No sense, fast lane, Typical Amerikan
Bad debts, unfair, take the money, I don’t care
And I can’t help myself
And don’t you ever tell me what I’m thinking
I can’t help myself
And don’t you ever tell me what I’m supposed to do
