Hanging upside down, I am wringing out a washcloth waist Imprisoned in a wedding pigeon body with a tin can face I cry into the pages of a Playboy magazine When I went to the party, everybody looked so clean Over a dead, sleeping policeman I begged them to have mercy Pulled his body off the bumper And got down on my knees I'm sorry I couldn't be everything I needed to be, I am Sorry I couldn't be everything I needed to be, I am Sorry I couldn't be everything I needed to be on time La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la Were you better as a phantom Symphony or a party anthem? Far away, you were half-pretend It never happened, it never happened Were you better as a phantom Symphony or a party anthem? Far away, you were half-pretend It never happened, it never ends La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la
