I read you like an autograph, you love the spotlight

You shoot me like a photograph, you get me uptight

You're gunnin' for me every day, go straight for the heart

Say you want me, you push me away, it tears you apart

You're on the inside, I'm on the outside

Don't matter whose side, you take the other side

I can see you walkin' down the aisle, you're thinkin' long-range

I've seen you work the miracle mile for loose change

You can have it anyway you want, your fancy dinners in the restaurants

Even though they leave you hungry inside, it's a free ride

You show your bad side, it's so undignified

Get off your back-side, you're talkin' suicide

Go and be what you wanna be

Sink your time and your hooks in me

You can hold me down, take me 'round and 'round and 'round

You catch me when I'm 'bout to fall, but you leave me there

What really matters doesn't matter at all, you don't care

It's hard to figure in your life, it's a roundabout

You're makin' it so hard to give in, but you won't let me out

You take the right side, I'm on the wrong side

No matter who's side, we're talkin' suicide
