lyrics

Mum and dad, look at me
I grew up, got so pretty
a bag of nerves, a shirt and tie
reptilian brain, sedated smile
I got a job it pays the thrills, I watch the telly and I'm fulfilled
but in the office and on the street
I'm still the loser, I'm still the freak
I place my face in the washing machine
I keep my teeth all white and clean
press my suit and iron my ties
sharpen nails, stitch up the lies.

I hope you're proud of me lying in your hole
I'm the dog lying dead in side your hole
I swapped the brain you made me for a great big hole.

Can I get an espresso please?
Extra strong, extra sweet
black and white, grey and grey
deep pan eyes, scrambled brain
I do my best to follow the flow
but I'm defined by all I own
I cannot find my fucking soul
the cloud around it grows and grows
the cup is empty, not like TV
there's nothing in there staring back at me
fact or fiction, lemonade
that's the feeling that I crave.
