Burn Down The Jungle - The Beatings
A little less perfect, please
You're making too much sense to me
I have nothing in common with something this pretty
I'm not used to wearing a suit that fits me
Rough up the edges, and fray the seams
Suspension of disbelief--it works
Pretense of interest... baby, it hurts
You were always there to bring me right down to Earth
You were always there to remind me it could only get worse
And, I know that I missed you the last time around
But, just because you're back now do I have to kiss the ground?
Well maybe it was just your big chance
Or maybe it was just a big mistake
Like the minor con on the back of a prison break
There's a fog on my brain
All I can do is complain
Where there is beauty I see only pain
I have nothing to lose and nothing to gain
And, I know that I missed you the last time around
But, just because you're back now do I have to kiss the ground?
You could have had a beautiful life
You could've done what you wanted to
But, if you can't elicit admiration
Then any reaction will do
