We’ve seen some change
But we’re still outsiders
If everybody’s here
Then hell knows
We ride alone
I’ve seen some years
But you’re still my Caesar
With everything I feel
I feel you’ve already been here
The only difference is all I see is now all that I’ve seen
It’s bright on the outside
The bright love the dark side
I know it’s obvious
But sometimes
You just have to say it
So you don’t feel so weak
About being such a freak
Or alone
In seventeen years
Will you still be Camille
Lee Miller, Gala or whatever
You know what I mean, yeah
Love’ll die
Lovers fade
But you still remain there
Squeezing in your fingers
What it means for me to be
The only difference is what might be is now what might have been
When you saw me sleeping
You thought I was dreaming of you
I didn’t tell you
That the only dream
Is Valium for me
The only difference is that
What might be is now
So far away
Come on I’ll take you far away
Let’s get away
Come on let’s make a get away
Once you have loved someone this much
you doubt it could fade
despite how much you’d like it to
God how you’d like it to fade
Let’s fade together
If we get away
You know we might just stay away
So stay awake
Why the hell should I stay awake?
When you’re far away
Oh god you are so far away
I looked your wall
Saw that old passport photograph
I look like I’ve just jumped the Berlin Wall
Berlin I love you
I’m starting to fade
Let’s fade together
The last message you sent
siad I looked really down
that I oughta come over
and talk about it
well I wasn’t down
I just wasn’t smiling at you
as I look at us now it seems
that you’re slapping my back
as if it’s alright
but its not.
I’m trying to get up
but you’re pushing me down
so I’ll get up on my own
Now there’s some grinning goon
on my TV screen
telling us all that
it’s alright because
she wears this and
he said that and
if you get some of these
it’ll all be alright
well I refuse
to be a cynical goon
passing the masses
an easy answer
because it won’t be alright
oh no it won’t be alright
it won’t be alright
unless you get up
come on and get up
Well I’m just a voice in your earpieces
telling you no
it’s not alright
you know you could have it so much better
you could have it so much better
if you tried.
You toss in a word
I’m your villain
I see the passion emerge
I’m your villain
But serious
You’re so serious
Like a waiter
Hating the rich
But taking their tips
If I could laugh I’d love you
If I could smile at anything you said
We could be laughing lovers
I think you’d prefer to be miserable instead
If I could love I’d love you
If I could love like anybody else
I know what I am
I’m your villain
I don’t give a damn if
I’m your villain
Because serious
You’re so serious
But I’ve got ready salted
ready on your belly
If you want to have fun
See you later
