Album: Halfway Down the Sky

You're primitive
And you're cynical to me.
And you chewed down on the death.
And almost swallowed it.
You sit all alone
With your color TV.
Your hair starts to glisten
In spite of the fleas.
We don't have to stay friends,
let's pretend to be enemies.

Yeah, Whatever Makes You Happy.
Yeah, whatever makes you beautiful.
Yeah, whatever leaves you satisfied.
'Cause i'm outta time,
for now.

And you're paranoid
As you look me up and down.
And i'm soaked in gasoline,
Mud, and ice cream.
You sit by the phone
With your tongue hanging out.
You cradle the flies
In the back of your mouth.
We don't have to stay friends,
Let's pretend to be enemies.

Chorus

Damned if you do,
Fucked if you don't.
Damned if you do,
What if you won't?
Damned if you do,
Fucked if you don't.

You must be aware what
You're doing to me.
We sound like a stone
On a rock in the sea.

We don't have to stay friends,
Not for very long.
We don't have to stay friends,
Just because you're gone.

Chorus

You get what you want,
But you won't let it die.

Yeah, whatever makes you happy.
Yeah, whatever leaves you insecure.
Yeah, whatever seems to break you down.
'Cause i'm outta time.

Yesenia, I love you. -11-19-01-
