lyrics

You’re perfect... to a point
Top grade for... For almost everything
Such lustre
I must admit you’re very close to le point
Merdique que...
I prefer my joie de vivre not so overdone

Oh, every day your three slipped stitches just loom larger, uh-oh
Oh, I suspend my disbelief, but it just gets harder, uh-oh
And the muse on my shoulder
I stay young, he gets older
What a Jesus complex
Designate the flaws and turn the wine back into water
Baby, I...

I tolerate all the smoking
Those razorblades
I’ll bandage you up again
Your money’s gone
Blown on magazines and CDs
I’ll drink alone
Wait for the vibrating signal you’ll send to me

Oh, every day your three slipped stitches just loom larger, uh-oh
Oh, I suspend my disbelief, but it just gets harder, uh-oh
And now the stitching’s gone
The lining comes away
This ticket’s been through the machine
You want a reason
I say...
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
