I'm a kid in a candy store
|
I'm a bull in a china shop
|
I'm a tired old metaphor
|
For everything you can't afford
|
And everything you can't afford to be
|
|
I'm a public embarrassment
|
I'm a bottle of diet poison
|
I'm a walking advertisement
|
For everything I never meant
|
And everything I never meant to be
|
|
I can't hear a thing
|
Cause I've stopped listening
|
|
I'm the reason I don't go out
|
I'm afraid I might tell me something
|
I'm the shadow of every doubt
|
I'm the product this song's about
|
I'm the product this song's about to be
|
|
I can't hear a thing
|
Cause I've stopped listening
|
I can't hear a thing
|
Cause I've stopped listening
|
|
Every morning
|
Since I was born
|
It's been hard to look in the mirror
|
And see my face for the horns
|
|
All the fun that the law allows
|
All the fun but with half the meaning
|
Come on over, I'll show you how
|
If you lived here you'd be home by now
|
If you still lived here you'd be home now with me
|
|
I can't hear a thing
|
Cause I've stopped listening
|
I can't hear a thing
|
Cause I've stopped listening
|
