basement, basement
lackluster ease
the confidence
only you could teach
from the notebook drawings over your head
the truth of what I crave and I dread
pretense, pretense
tease and trial
I hope he can stay
unreal for a while
he's easy to talk to, he's easy to explain
but when is that charm of his gonna change?
when is he gonna make strange?
I've been thinkin
I should get out of town
pack my bags
never settle down
disappear without a trace or a clue
I don't know yet if that's what I'm gonna do
but I know I'm not waiting for you
I know I'm not waiting here for you

If I had an apple
I'd dip it in acid
And feed it to the innocent next door
If her man came
To kiss it better
He'd secretly want me more
If I had a castle
I'd steal a princess
And hide her lock and key on the upper floor
If some valiant knight
Tried to break in and save her
I'd slit her throat before he'd make it to the door
O, that life were a storybook
I'd live in such dramatic decadence
O, you wouldn't need a second look
To tell the enemy from the prince
If I had a village
I'd fill it with rats
And lead the children out with my fife
When the mothers scream in the distance
I'll scream back
"I'll take your visa or your child's life"
If I happened to live
In some barbershop nightmare,
I'd kill my own sad ghost of a wife
Vengeance and veins would open and flow
To my cool and angry knife
O, that life were a story book
I'd live in such lavish wealth, I'd
Eat hand-picked grapes by the vine
And have slaves to put them in my mouth
And all the boys and girls in my harem
Would reserve for me such fear
For if left unsatisfied
I'd find little ways to make them disappear
O, life is just a masquerade
So who dares steal this scorn?
Who will set the gilded rose
And who be pricked by its gorgeous thorn?
Am I everything that I appear to be
Or do these words obscure what's true?
If I remove the mask tonight
Will I be the mirror image
Of you?
