Love And Addiction

Put on your bad self

Get out your party dress and

Fix up your makeup

Try to make a good impression

This is a new world

We're all the same here

Well, maybe not the same

But you know what I mean

I've got everything that you want

I've got everything and someday, I'll be president

And I've got everything that you want

I've got everything and honey, are you listening?

Hey, Eliza, now what do you want?

I play piano, and I sing like a humming bird, and

Oh, I forgot that humming birds don't sing

It doesn't matter, really, you know what I mean

Separate love from addiction

It's not the same

I know, I see

Desperation pulling my strings

Take out your hairpins and

Lift up your party dress and

Sit back and listen for the rush of suffering

Hey, Eliza, is this what you want?

Sometimes you compromise to get the things you need

I've got everything that you want

I've got everything and it's a brand new world, Eliza

I've got everything that you want

I've got everything, except the single thing you really need

Send away

Blood and rejection, they isolate

I know I see a generation staring back at me

Wasted away, wasted my time

This picture you see is nothing like the one I want painted of me

Eliza says, "It's alright with me, if you're sure

It wouldn't be the first time

You know it's happened a couple of times before

And I don't even expect much anymore anyway

It's not as if I was waiting for you to come and make it all okay"

Yeah, but your family is gone, Eliza

So won’t you look into my eyes, Eliza?

Shut away to wean blood and rejection, they isolate

I know I see visions of people running over me, yeah

Wasted away, wasted my time

This picture you see is nothing like the one I want painted of me

Put on your bad self

Get out your party dress and

Fix up your makeup
