footloose and fancy-free

I want to mean more than I mean to you I want to mean more than I meant to him So I pray to all To make me a real girl

Baby says there's death in these silver curls That break open jails Send you diving for pearls Without a care in the world

This bridge was written to make you feel smittener With my sad picture of girl getting bitterer Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy? I didn't think so but I'm still convincible

If only you knew, my dear How I live my life in fear If only you knew, my dear How I know my time is near

Every single night's alright Every single night's a fight And every single fight's alright with my brain

When I made a shadow on my window shade They called the police and testified But they're like the people chained up in the cave In the allegory of the people in the cave by the Greek guy

You're a bully and a clown You made me cry and put me down After all that I've been through You'd think I'd hate the sight of you

And I wouldn't lie I never really wanted more Than what I ever really needed after all Someone that hates to see me go

The stars lean down to kiss you And I lie awake and miss you Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

And I wrote my girl Told her I would not return I've terribly taken a turn For the worse now, I fear

I've really been on a bender and it shows So why don't you blow me A kiss before she goes?

And the water rolls down the drain The blood rolls down the drain Oh, what a lonely thing In a blood red drain

Orpheus sat gloomy in his garden shed Wondering what to do With a lump of wood and a piece of wire And a little pot of glue

I look like Jesus, so they say But Mr. Jesus is very far away Now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true That you love me and I love me

As the still of the night and the choke of the air And the winners' delight and the losers' despair Closes in left and right I would love not to care

Oh, killing me softly And I'm still falling Still the one I need I will always be with you

So tame my flesh And fix my eyes A tethered mind Freed from the lies
