Olly Olly Oxen Free
So
You wanted
That's what you get
For wanting
You got it
That's what you get for getting
Forgotten
You're gardening
A rotting bed
Of raygun era icons
So
Let's start it
Let's start it
From the minute you felt it
You felt it like a prison
A panic you felt it
Like that coffee scene
From moscow on the hudson
So
Be honest it's not as if you're
Happy about it
It's not as if
You're animatronic
It's not as if you couldn't
Cry out any time you wanted
Olly olly oxen free
All the people you will never be
Olly olly oxen free
Olly olly olly olly
Olly olly olly olly
Fate
You call it
You color it
The color you want it
You carpet it
That's awful convenient
You paint yourself a nice
White room with
Stripes & matching curtains
So
You forfeit
You cannot build
A river across it
You cannot hold your own heart
Hostage
You do not have
The strength to
Gag yourself in every closet
The wrong place wrong mind
Timing's always bad
You're such a sad case
Misplaced renaissance
Inventor of a world wide
Heartbreak taking it in stride
Cos you're an expert
Aren't you
Aren't you just a dime a dozen
Murderous monosyllabic
Moron with no
Sense of purpose
Working on your songs all night
To justify your worthlessness
To anyone who's watching if
They only saw your alter egos
Pretty in the shop windows
Where you got auctioned hours
Ago
Olly olly oxen free
All the people you will never be
Olly olly oxen free
Olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
See no evil hear no evil
Capture me and throw the key
See no evil hear no evil
Capture me and throw the key
Away
Throw the key away
So
It's over
You're lying in a coffin
Of clutter
Your father and your sister
Your drummer
Are sorting through your
Soft cell tapes
And lifesaver collection
And you wonder
You wonder if you
Could've done better
You wonder if you
Should've surrendered
Before you learned that
Nobody actually wants
A fucking martyr
Didn't you didn't you didn't
Didn't you see
Didn't you didn't you didn't
Didn't you see
Didn't you didn't you you didn't
You didn't see me
Didn't you didn't you you didn't
You didn't see me
Olly olly oxen free
All the people you will never be
Olly olly oxen free
Olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
See no evil hear no evil
Capture me and throw the key
See no evil hear no evil
Capture me and throw the key
Away
Throw the key away
Throw the key away
