Everybody Wants You (dead)

You did me wrong! Yeah, you screwed me

But – guess what! I win, you lose

How funny, what you show when you’ve got nothing to prove

Everybody wants you? Everybody wants you dead

But I want you right here

To see your face when you’ve got no one left

Sticky fingers touch the treetops...

Could we collapse them with one slip?

Can you really swear by a reality where miles are measured by inch?

Tonight we are two, dipping toes in flooding puddles

Programmed romance makes us shudder, pictures never grow old

Obviously dusting powdery days off your skin,

Familiar eyes are rabid, transplanted to a stranger’s skull

How am I to keep you happy, healthy and strong

when you harbor such infection, such scar tissue in your bones

I didn’t think dysplasia would so affect it

You know, tonight there is a crime to commit

I’m thinking it through – I’m convinced it’s true

You’re the beach of my attention but the tide is coming in

Will you buckle down like barnacles, a one-time contagion?

Will you passively wade away like layers of pollution?

Or will you still be holding your breath when tides go out again?

What happened to what you thought of me?

I shattered all the imagery

The pretense was a forgery – I really am what I present

You know, tonight there’s a crime to commit

and I’m the criminal, victim and punishment

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
