You've got the answer for everything that's wrong with everybody else You've borrowed insights Should have borrowed someone else's mouth And I have Seen you fallin through the door When no one would even help you off the floor
You dyed your hair you read Bukowski now and live by every word You'd look the part If not for the clothes you wear that you're wearing out And I, heard from a man named Seth That life, don't come to those who wait for death
When you kiss and tell You leave a mark Til someone else bites your tongue
You've got your poets and now Your singers singing show tunes in the car You weren't so clever In your flowered prints and your ghetto scars
And I, want to watch the sunset on the beach Yeah, it's always been too far from my reach
You took a turn at Silver Lake And now you're calling it your home Too bad you can't grow up You're growing down in your wedding gown And I, swear to god I've seen this play before Yeah, I smelt the popcorn on the floor When you kiss and tell you leave a mark Til someone else bites your tongue
