If the businessmen drink my blood Like the kids in art school said they would Then I guess I'll just begin again You say, "Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would and if I was bored, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not
All the kids have always known That the emperor wears no clothes But they bow down to him anyway It's better than being alone
If I was scared, I would and if I was bored, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now you're knocking at my door Saying "Please come out with us tonight" But I would rather be alone Than pretend I feel alright If the businessmen drink my blood Like the kids in art school said they would Then I guess I'll just begin again You say, "Can we still be friends?"
If I was scared, I would and if I was pure, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not, now I'm ready to start If I was scared, I would and if I was pure, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not, now I'm ready to start, now I'm ready to start
I would rather be wrong than live in the shadows of your song My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start, now I'm ready to start My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start You're not sure you open the door and step out into the dark, now I'm ready...
