Courtesy Laughs

I had a fever to empty your closet

I didn't think it would be that hard

You get to do what you want now, see

Though we'll always have to do it apart

See, I'm gonna scream 100,000 words

Now that your fever is long gone

Your wishes I couldn't tell

I don't hear you talking but pretending

I said, ain't that enough courtesy laughs?

I read my future in a fortune cookie

Without any safety procedure in mind

All of your things in the main hall

You told me to get rid of them so

Sold an ugly necklace uptown

I found out it was Egyptian

I tied up your letters

Buried them all with delectation

Said, ain't that enough courtesy laughs? Oh

I hate that kind of wrong affection

I ain't ready to talk at all

It's all lies, misunderstandings

I'm all alone in the main hall

I hate that kind of wrong affection

I ain't ready to talk at all

It's all lies, misunderstandings

I'm all alone in the main hall

I'm gonna read every novel you read

I'm gonna learn what's Egyptian

Pretend not to talk too much to

Sacrifice all of my agenda

I had a fever to empty your closet

I didn't think it would be that hard

You get to do what you want now, see

Though we'll always have to do it apart

Ain't that enough courtesy laughs? Oh

I hate that kind of wrong affection

I ain't ready to talk at all

It's all lies, misunderstandings

I'm all alone in the main hall

I hate that kind of wrong affection

I ain't ready to talk at all

It's all lies, misunderstandings

I'm all alone in the main hall, ooh
