So this is paradise
(As real as paradise can be)
Straight to the heart again
(As if you'd ever look to me)
It scratched the surface but I couldn't even feel it when we kissed
Not until you'd gone away
Another face I'm never going to miss
And then the deadlights of your eyes saw through the rest of my disguise
I'm going to think of you a lot before I ever look away
There's nothing like being on your own
And in this perfect place you'd dance for me with flowers in your hair
So callipygian I couldn't even find the strength to care
And in the springtime we would laugh until we passed out in the rain
And sometimes I still wonder if we laughed because we couldn't take the pain
And I called you beautiful
And you called me strong
And the sad part is we both faked it all along
There's nothing like the feeling I get when I see you cry
Another pool-hall princess with a pinball prince to call her very own
It's been years and years now but I haven't found the strength to really grow
I still can't find happiness in the arms of a faceless silouhette
With the taste of empty kisses and the aftertaste of somebody's regret
Turn out the lights
I don't need you tonight
Go home to your loneliness and leave me drowning in mine
There's nothing like getting drunk all by myself
