Quit acting so friendly
Don't nod, don't laugh all nicely
Don't think you'll up-end me
Don't sigh, don't sip your iced-tea
And don't say, "It's been a while..."
And don't flash that stupid smile

Don't ask me, don't ask me, don't ask me
Ask me, ask me how I've been

Don't think I've forgotten
You never liked that necklace
So cordial, so rotten
Kiss, kiss, let's meet for breakfast
Don't show up so on-time
And don't act like you're so kind

Don't ask me, don't ask me, don't ask me
Ask me, ask me how I've been
Don't ask me, don't ask me, ow!

So don't sit there and play just
So frank, so straight, so candid
So thoughtful, so gracious
So sound, so even-handed
Don't be so damn benign
And don't waste my fucking time

Don't ask me, don't ask me, don't ask me
Ask me, ask me how I've been
Don't ask, hey
Don't ask, hey
Don't ask, hey
Don't, don't, don't ask me
Don't, don't, don't ask me
Don't, don't, don't ask me
Don't, don't, don't!
Don't ask me, don't ask me, don't ask me
Don't ask me, don't ask me, don't ask me
Ask me, ask me how I've been

I saw you sliding out the bar
I saw you slipping out the back door, baby
Don't even try and find a line this time, it's fine
Darling, you're still divine

You don't love me at all, oh
But don't think that it bothers me at all
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, baby doll
But you're so damn hot, yeah, you're so damn hot
Yeah, you're so damn hot, yeah, you're so damn hot
Oh

So now you're headed to your car
You say it's dinner with your sister, sweetie.
But darling look at how you're dressed
Your best suggests another kind of guest.

You don't love me at all, oh
But don't think that it bothers me at all
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, baby doll
But you're so damn hot, yeah, you're so damn hot
Well, you're so damn hot, yeah, you're so damn hot
Oh

So who's this other guy you've got?
Which other rubes are riding hot-shot, sugar?
I could have swore you said before
"No more, for sure"
What'd I believe you for?

You don't love me at all, oh
But don't think that it bothers me at all
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, baby doll
But you're so damn hot, yeah, you're so damn hot
Yeah, you're so damn hot, yeah, you're so damn hot
Oh

You don't love me at all, oh
But don't think that it bothers me at all
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, baby doll
But you're so damn hot, yeah, you're so damn hot
Oh, you're so damn hot, yeah, you're so damn hot

Another long quiet night...
Another long quiet, lonely night spent at your side.
Not a lot left to say...
There's not a lot that I still could say to change your mind.

But with a little bit of money we could buy us a car.
With a little luck we could get away from where we are.
Let's get out of here.

We'll drive, one thousand miles an hour.
We'll fly by wheat fields and water towers.
We'll go. We'll go and we'll go and we'll go. Let's go.

Now the look in your eye...
You know, the look right before you cry... it's always here.
So in the day when you wake...
In the morning when you awake, let's disappear.

With a little bit of money we could buy us a car.
With a little luck we could get away from where we are.
Let's get out of here.

We'll drive, one thousand miles an hour.
We'll fly by wheat fields and water towers.
We'll go. We'll go and we'll go and we'll go. Let's go.

How long did we all
Think this all would last?
Who could have counted days
As they flew past?

But before we go
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying

Who would have thought
It'd come as such a show?
A pink and silver day
Who was to know?

But even as we go
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying

But even as we go
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying

Now it's years since your body went flat, and even memories of that
Are all thick and dull, all gravel and glass
But who needs them now, displaced they're easily more safe
The worst of it now, I can't remember your face

Return, return, return, return

For a while, with the vertigo cured
We were alive, we were pure
The void took the shape of all that you were
But years take their toll
And things get bent into shape
Antiseptic and tired, I can't remember your face

Return, return, return, return

You were supposed to grow old
You were supposed to grow old
Reckless, unfrightened and old
You were supposed to grow old
You were supposed to grow old
You were supposed to grow old
You were supposed to grow old

Return, return, return, return
You were supposed to return
You were supposed to return

Stop getting me off track
I mean it, there's a problem here
This time it is for, it is for, it is for real
How can I make myself more clear?

I never say quite what I mean
And never mean quite what I say
And how did that get out of me
And what the hell did I mean to say?

This time it is for real
This is a real emergency
This time I swear it is the, it is the, it is the truth
This must be dealt with urgently

I never say quite what I mean
And never mean quite what I say
And how did that get out of me
And what the hell did I mean to say?

There's a fire, there's a fire

I really mean it now
This time I swear I have not lied
This isn't like the, like the, like the last time
I swear to God I have not lied

I never say quite what I mean
And never mean quite what I say
And how did that get out of me
And what the hell did I mean to say?

There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's a fire, there's a fire
There's, woah

When we got to Boston, we knew we'd missed a turn
No one back in traffic school had told us
There's signs that can't be learned
Geography's too stubborn, and people are too clear
So let's go find a road-side motel with a clerk who won't tell
Days will turn into nights, nights will turn into days, weeks, seasons, and years
Oh years, we'll stay for years, oh years

Red and white for blood cells, red and white for wine
They could be the whole damn spectrum
If you'd all just let them
Lord, it's such a crime
Working on an inch less waistband
In the strip mall wasteland, outside of this town
Or clawing at the penthouse kitchen floor for just one smidgen more
Everybody knows, everybody knows that it's in

The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in

Let's go back to Boston, forget about the turn
Atlases and gas station attendants are none of our concern
We'll forge a little life dear, (oh dear) and double down our debts (oh dear)
And I guess it stands to reason that the passing seasons will slowly dull regrets

Working on an inch less waistband
In the strip mall wasteland, outside of this town
Or clawing at the penthouse kitchen floor for just one smidgen more
Everybody knows, everybody knows that it's in
The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
The fix is in, the fix is in, the fix is in
My fix is in, the fix is in, my fix is in
The fix is in, the fix is in

Working on an inch less waistband
In the strip mall wasteland, outside of this town
Or clawing at the penthouse kitchen floor for just one smidgen more
Everybody knows, everybody knows that it's in

Sitting for lunch in a square in this town, this town that I'm new to
New fellow from my new town sat me down, and explained it to me
how when I spin from him, I spin from myself
The center can double the speed of the crust
Thank you, my treacherous friends
I'm cringing for myself when I cringe for you

Hello, my treacherous friends
And thank you for joining me here tonight
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must
How grateful I am

Hello, my treacherous friends
And thank you for joining me here tonight
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must
How grateful I am for your insights

With regard to my newborn arachnid kids
There's something we must discuss
Perhaps we should sit them down and explain how not to be saved
Perhaps you could help me to demonstrate
How your center can keep up its sickening spin
Thank you, my treacherous friends
Perhaps for my children, your surface will smile

Hello, my treacherous friends
And thank you for joining me here tonight
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must
The fate of my children, the spiders

Hello, my treacherous friends
And thank you for joining me here tonight
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must
How pleasant has been

Hello, my treacherous friends
And thank you for joining me here tonight
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must
How pleasant has been this demise
