The less said about this one, the better. I'm still trying to figure it out.
lyrics
I forget nothing
I know just what you said
A house of horrors
Where dreamers go to die
A bit of magic
What exactly does this prove?
Your guess is good as
My opinion ballyhooed
So everyone is staring
It's not your day
I guess you're feeling stupid
But that's OK
Misread your situation
Closed feedback loop
Forever skewed your choices
In one fell swoop
Sold another lie
(Better be startin' nuthin'
only result in thumpin')
All opposed say "Aye"
(Tryin' to stand outside it
continental divide)
We're nearing the end of July
(Revenge is in the freezer
Time is here, now seize it)
Gonna have to let your guard down
Find yourself another boom town and fly
A little bitter
Garden, Sliver, Applebite
Time to face facts
The ones you treasure
They don't like
The spotlight shines upon you
Best not screw up
Drink down some liquid courage
From a Dixie cup
They might have never noticed
This latest flub
But for your nervous breakdown
Ah, there's the rub
Sold another lie
(Chicken Heart is comin'
Time to spread the Jell-O)
All opposed say "Aye"
(This machine is worthless
"Pause" button's required)
We're nearing the end of July
(Mother must never know 'bout
KISS cards in the mattress)
Gonna have to let your guard down
Find yourself another boom town and fly
