Goodbye to sleep
I think this staying up is exactly what i need
Take apart your head
Take apart the counting and the flock it has bred

Goodbye to love
Its just a ride that will push you
Up right against the wall*
Take apart your head...right against the wall...
Chew it up and swallow it

*(Does everybody really need to know everyone?
Do you really think you're really a part of it?
And is your army really one of some thousands?
And will you declare war on the loony bin?)

But I'll bet that you're running
I've been sleeping in the alkaline
I can't shake this little feeling
I'll never get anything right

Goodbye you liar
Well, you sipped from her cup
But you don't own up to anything
And you think you will inspire*

*(When I arrive will God be waiting and pacing around his throne?
Will he feel a little Old Testament?
And will he celebrate with fire and brimstone
Yeah, I admit, I am afraid of the reckoning)

Take apart your head...yeah, I wish I could inspire
Take apart the demon up in the attic to the left*

But I'll bet that you're running
I've been sleeping in the alkaline
I can't shake this little feeling
I never say anything right (I'm on my own)
I never say anything right (I'm on my own)
I never say anything right (I'm on my own)
I never say anything right...right...right (I'm on my own)

*(Goodbye my love
You wait right here, and they will come and pick you up
I've been on pause
But Im shaking off the rust
Ive lost my charge
I've been degaussed
I've been degaussed
I've been degaussed)

Take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
Please say, "I don't mind you under my skin
And Ill let your bad parts in. the bad parts in"
When we were made we were set apart
But life is a test and I get bad marks
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins
The storm is coming
The storm is coming in

But I'll bet that you're running
I've been sleeping in the alkaline
I can't shake this little feeling
I never did anything right (I'm on my own)
I never did anything right (I'm on my own)

Take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
I don't mind you under my skin
Ill let the bad parts in the bad parts in
Well, youre my favorite bird and when you sing
I really do wish that you would wear my ring
But no matter what they say, I am still the king
The storm is coming
The storm is coming in.
