We'll start over again
Grow ourselves new skin
Get a house in Devon
Drink cider from a lemon

So shut, shut your mouth
'Cause I'm not listening anyhow
I've had enough, enough of you
Enough to last a lifetime through
So what do you want of me?
Got no cure for misery and if I go around with you
You know that i'll get messed up too
With you

We're not the only ones
Is that what we used to say
That this is the modern way?
I know where I'm going
I know we are in the knowing
I will stop at nothing
Just to get what I want
It's the only way of getting out of here

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat

I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh

Tellin' lies
Closing your eyes
Making more excuses
Pullin' the wool
Actin' the fool
People have their uses ...

Why do we have to carry on
Always singing the same old song

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!

Live for liposuction
And detox for your 'rents
Overdose at Christmas
And give it up for lent
My friends are all so cynical
Refuse to keep the faith
We all enjoy the madness
'Cause we know we're gonna fade away

I was crossing the city one day
Everybody was flashing by me
Like images of tombstones
Images of tombstones

On a Friday night
I've seen everybody looking for their little bit of honey
To alleviate the pain
To alleviate the pain

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?

You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change a name but that's okay
It's necessary
And what you leave behind
You don't miss anyway

And Greg he writes letters and burns his CDs
They say you were something in those formative years
Hold onto nothing as fast as you can
Well, still, pretty good year

You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?
And if that's what you have in mind
Yeah, if that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up, 'cause I'm movin' out

Hello my friend, are you visible today?
You know I never knew that it could be so strange ... strange
Hello, I'm sorry, I lost myself
I think I thought you were someone else

Should we talk about the weather?
(Hi ... hi, hi)

Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world
