Ballad Of A Shallow Man

I'm a little melodramatic, lyrically cinematic

I hope I don't step over my lines

I turn night into day cos day seems just right to brighten up this night of mine

I draw a shape in the sand with a coke can that I found beside the tide

And as the waves come crashing right back in I hesitate to say that I will survive

Da da da da da da da

Take these keys to your life

You're just a giant-sized man of the times

Fool yourself, but cleverly disguise the right the lie

I hate your face

But I love your body

Is it OK for me to act so shoddy in this life

Call me dirt, scum, run through them all

Cos you damn well know I've heard them all before

I might a little dumbstruck, fucked, out of my league

And just a little bit insecure

I'm not everything that you expected me to be

Pen to paper, signature and date here please

Da da da da da da da

Take these keys to your life

You're just a giant-sized man of the times

Fool yourself, but cleverly disguise the right the lie

I hate your face

But I love your body

Is it OK for me to act so shoddy in this life

I'm a little melodramatic, lyrically cinematic

I hope I don't step over my lines

I turn night into day cos day seems just right to brighten up this night of mine

I draw a shape in the sand with a coke can that I found beside the tide

And as the waves come crashing right back in I hesitate to say that I will survive

Da da da da da da da

Take these keys to your life

You're just a giant-sized man of the times

Fool yourself, but cleverly disguise the right the lie

I hate your face

But I love your body

Is it OK for me to act so shoddy in this life

Oh please tell me

DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
