(Chorus)
Says she's got it all. (2x)
Says she's got it.
I don't wanna be the one to tell her that she don't.

But she just don't...

Late night, in a lonely city...
So hard, she tries to look pretty.
Boys don't even notice her though.
She's in need of attention so.

Lost and naked in the city again...
Intoxicated by a quarter to ten.
Lost and naked in the city again.
Begging for a piece of their attention.

. . .


Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
The wolves have smelled her scent.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.

Some of us wouldn't be lying
if we said were trying too hard.
But, it all works out in the end.
Some of us would be trying too hard to begin lying.
But... but, it seems to all work out in the end.

Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
The wolves have smelled her scent.
Oh no.

Nobody likes a child who complains
and I won't be that child anymore

Some of us wouldn't be lying
if we said were trying too hard.
But, it all works out in the end.
Some of us would be trying too hard to begin lying.
But... but, it seems to all work out in the end.

Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
The wolves have smelled her scent.
Oh no

Nobody likes a child who complains
and I won't be that child anymore
Nobody likes a child who complains
and I won't be that child anymore

He never thought that he would leave so soon.
Passed out in May,
but then woke up June hanging over July.
Security! Security! Beware:
the cost of living is a one way fare.
I'm pulling the alarm, so get in or get out.
His polyester sticks out in the crowd.
It's true, there is such a thing as too loud
-but I won't let him know.
White lipstick smeared upon my bathroom mirror.
He stuck me with the bill -but I don't care.
I'm pulling the alarm
So get in or get out.....
Ugly or pretty, it's still my city.
Make up your mind and get in or get out!
Ugly or pretty, it's still my city
Say what you will, but get in or get out!
We never thought that he would leave this town.
We always thought he would hang around
getting old with the rest.
Jean jackets folded on his closet shelf.
The weather begs for leather coats... Ah well.
I'm pulling the alarm
So get in or get out....
Ugly or pretty, it's still my city,
Make up your mind and get in or get out.
Ugly or pretty, it's still my city,
Say what you will but get in or get out........

these bandages cover more than scrapes
cuts and bruises from regrets and mistakes.
I've been hoping you're moping around the street again.
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap.
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made.
These bandages are anonymity.
I've been shaking from making an awful decision.
I've been running and running...
feels like my head is spinning round and round
around around around around around...

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)

I've been hoping your moping around the street again.
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap.
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
for you
of you
let's see what needles do.
I've been shaking from making an awful decision.
I've been thinking I'm drinking too many drinks all by myself.
I've been running and running... feels like my head is spinning round and round and round
around around around around

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)
(Bandages bandages bandages)
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don't worry cuz it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don't worry cuz it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don't worry cuz it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don't worry cuz it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don't worry cuz it will all turn around
Around around around around around around around..
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
(Bandages bandages bandages)
(Bandages bandages bandages)
(Bandages bandages bandages)
(Bandages bandages have advantages too.)

Regular exposure to insecticide has caused me to break out in hives.
I'm losing weight.
I cannot wait till Saturday
... cuz on Saturday, my tax deductions make me function
like a blue collar... white collar...?
...I don't know -so I gotta hollar
"Oh! Oh Goddamnit! I think I've lost it! Oh God! Goddamnit, I think I've lost you!
Anti-oxidants have got me causing accidents
because my wine is spiked with pomegranite.
If you've got just one, then slam it.
Shot down -it's just such a shame.
I bet you feel no pain. Mercy! Expect a rivalry.
Shot down -it's just such a shame. I'm losing at this game.
No fair! Why don't you seem to care.
Lack of consequence has got me making decisions based upon truth or dare
decision making. No faking. I end up taking karate. She's naughty...
I call shotty! My body will never live up to these expectations...
I still make invitations. Oh! Oh Goddamnit. I think I've lost it and
I think that I've lost you.

I got my head shaved for her,
Because she told me it would,
Do all the right things for my identity.

I never knew that it would;
I never knew that it could;
I think perhaps because it makes no difference.

Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, it feels so right.
All I know is what I've been told.

I got all done up for her,
Because she told me it would,
Do something to correct my identity.

I never knew that I should;
I never knew that I would;
I think perhaps because it makes no difference.

Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, it feels so right.
All I know is what I've been told.

Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, it feels so right.
All I know is what I've been told.

*I got all done up for her,
Becuase she told me it would,
Do all the right things for my identity, identity

I got my head shaved for her,
Becuase she told me it would,
Do all the right things for my, my, my, my, my*

I can't articulate it;
consistently frustrated;
her discontent over my identity.

I never knew that it would;
I never knew that it could;
I never knew because it makes no difference.

Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, it feels so right.
Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, it feels so right.
Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, it feels so right.
Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, it feels so right.
Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, Aveda.
Hold me down, it feels so right.
Hold me down, Aveda.

Gonna walk right through this town
and laugh with a crowd of strangers chasing me.
Never stop to look behind my back, so tell me what they said
because I fear my life's in danger now in this town.
How did you get to my motel -do tell soon.
Gonna walk right through this town again with a crowd of strangers
watching me, picking every little thing apart.
So, tell me what they said because I get attitude from this town
-in this town. How did you get to this town?
...Through this town?
Gonna walk right through this town again knowing that I'm only here tonight.
Never cared to stop and say hello;
so, tell me what they said because I don't have time to hang around in this town.
Maybe... maybe I should think to stay.
Maybe I won't ever return.
Maybe... maybe I should stop and play.
Gonna walk right through this town again.
But, all I know is I really should be on my way.
Wouldn't mind one more night in town.

You are my only girl, but you're not my owner girl. (4x)
Talk to me... dance with me here in the spotlight, girl.
Talk to me... dance with me here. You're the spotlight girl.
So perfect you paint it... yet so manipulated.
So calm and so patient... yet oh so calculated.
So safe and comforting... this doesn't feel like flirting.
So fun I'm distracted... forgot you keep track of it.
You are my only girl, but you're not my owner girl. (8x)
Talk to me... dance with me here. You're the spotlight girl. (3x)
Talk to me... dance with me

I heard a tick-tock, tick-tock, tick... talk to you on the phone.
Ring-Ring... though I know that nobody's home

Why not? Why not I ask?
Why not? Why can't we be creative?

Why not? Why not I ask?
Why not? Why can't we be together?

Save us S.O.S you gotta
Save us S.O.S you gotta
Save us S.O.S you gotta
Save us S.O.S
I heard a tick-tock, tick-tock, tick... talk to you on the phone.
Ring-Ring... though I know that
you gotta just save us S.O.S you gotta
Save us S.O.S
I heard a tick-tock, tick-tock, tick... talk to you
Not home

Walking oh so slowly.
Don't know anybody.
Feels like I'm in Cairo.
Talking oh so quickly.
Please explain what they mean.
Taking matters too light.
How did this start a fight.
Why did I tie them tight?
Double knotted tonight.
I guess this must be Cairo.
Diamonds and brass hid behind painted glass in the heart of Cairo.
Sinking in way too deep.
I won't care what they think once I've left for Cairo.
Thinking about it too hard.
Shouldn't take this too far or I'll end up in Cairo.
How did I find my back in... Cairo?
