I get blessings in the morning
'Cause there's been silver fish crawling across my bed
Since last year at the party when
You kissed that girl with the purple hair
You carried her down the stairs
And you should be ashamed
There was a lexical gap between your teeth
Grammatical tongue that knows its worth
But those words I left up gladly
And you know I always hated them
To be reminded that
I gave you everything
You're picking her up
You're gaining her trust
You're taking too much now
It's never enough
And you may have the world under your covers
But you're still so lonely, I can see it in your eyes
When every pretty face is just another
Strange embrace
A hundred and thirty dollar turtleneck
She'll probably be into that
You even sold me on that doctor
Like when looking pleasantly interested
Anticipating accomplishment
How does it feel taking your love a next step?
Lying to yourself every day
Questions of what it is you're worth
Through a vacuum of neglected
X's and O's as into my feelings
Are you sick of the shivering?
I thought you had everything
And you may have the world under your covers
But you're still so lonely, I can see it in your eyes
When every pretty face is just another
Strange embrace (at the end of the night)
And to think I was in love with an illusion
I wonder who you're foolin' this time around
Incapable of feeling for another
Strange embrace
You're picking her up
Gaining her trust
You're taking too much now
It's never enough
And you may have the world under your covers
But you're still so lonely, I can see it in your eyes
When every pretty face is just another
Strange embrace (at the end of the night)
And to think I was in love with an illusion
I wonder who you're foolin' this time around
Incapable of feeling for another
Strange embrace (at the end of the night)
