I stand here naked, laughing at myself
hope I'm insured, concerned about my health
my heart is pounding, wondering what you'll think
does my tuxedo really stink?
(hope not)
I'm still in town, walking in the street
with a Burger King crown, no shoes on my feet
my story's old news, I read it in a magazine
everyone was wrong, dissolving like a dream
like a dream
I ate a cat, so I could have 9 lives
year of the rat, confetti fills our eyes
big prom night anthems, was saving soldiers lives
no plane, no funeral, no tickets to the skies
and don't you look nice on this morbid day
yes you pay the price for pretending your ok
I want to travel, unravel your mystique
in your tuxedo you still look like a freak
like a freak
I stand here naked, laughing at myself
hope I'm insured, concerned about my health
wear out your welcome, wear out your new shoes
cause in a moment you'll have nothing to lose
but your mind
