When something's dirty<br> | |||
You got to make it come clean<br> | |||
America needs a hero<br> | |||
To put an end to its dying dream | |||
I understood, I understood<br> | |||
Yeah, I understood | |||
Me and Jodie Foster<br> | |||
We would have made a fine pair<br> | |||
If my aim had been straighter<br> | |||
Maybe I could have got somewhere | |||
I understood, yeah, I understood<br> | |||
Hey, I understood ... yeah | |||
You and me and our love<br> | |||
Could have gone into the stratosphere<br> | |||
Don't you know how hard it is<br> | |||
To ever find love anywhere | |||
I understood, yeah, I understood<br> | |||
Hey, I'm sorry, I understood | |||
Love you in that plaid dress | |||

You're a Hallmark card, shit plain and dumb<br> | |||
You're a Hallmark card, shit out of luck<br> | |||
And I don't need to apologize for anything I see<br> | |||
And I don't need to apologize when you just come right up to me<br> | |||
You're all mixed up - be something I could touch<br> | |||
You were weak | |||
You're a circus ride making me lose my lunch<br> | |||
You're a circus ride making my head spin<br> | |||
And I don't need to redeem myself in anybody's eyes<br> | |||
I don't need to redeem myself for the sake of anybody's eyes<br> | |||
And if you really want to make a puppet talk,<br> | |||
Turn over my rock, watch me crawl<br> | |||
You were weak | |||
And I don't need to redeem myself in anybody's eyes<br> | |||
I don't need to redeem myself for the sake of your cowardly lies<br> | |||
And if you really want it, give me a little bit<br> | |||
Make me say things I don't wanna say<br> | |||
You were weak | |||

She's just trying to find a place at the bar<br> | |||
She can't tell is there a gun to fire<br> | |||
She's checking in her pocket for, for something to make her feel good<br> | |||
She's checking in her pocket for a way out | |||
She's just trying to find a friend to call<br> | |||
She can't seem to find anyone at all<br> | |||
She's checking in her pocket for, for something to make her feel good<br> | |||
She's checking in her pocket for a reason, a reason | |||
She's checking in her pocket for, maybe a reason to stay<br> | |||
