Trick track, I'm going back
I see all this as from afar
Like a car I'm driving never arriving
Patiently surviving

Hot and cold, if I may be so bold
I see you sold all the things I told you
Not to, baby
What the hell is that

So sad about
All the time that I wasted
Bitter thrill I tasted
The words were on your lips

Too bad about
All the people in the way
You never say excuse me
First you use me, then you lose me

Grand slam, beaten I am
I've eaten all the poison in the mirror
The reflections
Of all my imperfections

Bang bang, the choir sang
See me in all the wrong things
That the devil brings to us
True lust baby, what the hell was that

So sad about
All the time that I wasted
Bitter fruit I tasted
The words were on your lips

Too bad about
All the people in the way
You never say excuse me
First you use me, then you lose me
