Black hole opened in the kitchen Every clock's a different time It would only take the energy to fix it I don't know why I am The way I am, not strong enough to be your man I try, I can't stop staring at the ceiling fan and Spinning out about things that haven't happened Breathing in and out Drag racing through the canyon Singing "Boys Don't Cry" Do you see us getting scraped up off the pavement? I don't know why I am The way I am, not strong enough to be your man I lie, I am just lowering your expectations Half a mind that keeps the other second guessing Close my eyes and count Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god I don't know why I am the way I am There's something in the static, I think I've been having revelations Comin' to, in the front seat, nearly empty Skip the exit to our old street and go home Go home alone
