lyrics

I woke up in my clothes on a Saturday
Artillery in place for an alien attack
And I thoroughly collapsed from a heatstroke
When I was on the back porch telling you that

I'll warn you, misinform you with sudden surprise
All dressed up to fess up, but I doubt I'm gonna make it on time
And this madness, this sadness, it's everyone's own
So don't expect no compassion unless you're giving some

Red Rover run over here and break me loose
Conformity's deformed me into some sort of heinous groove
And I told you so, the melody's all tangled up
Like wire inside a soft cushion, poking through, messing it up

And I casually mentioned that I liked you but you didn't care
And to think you were the diversion that brought me here
But I'll trick you, I'll kill you, I'll make you my own
Charm your heart through a can and string telephone

Unfolded, unraveled, and bare to the bone
Skin flaking, so embarrassing, and without reason
I caught you red handed, hand standing on the tip of my tongue
Fall over, it's over, I'm over, and that's the end of the song
