How could this compass cost so much, only point where i want it to?
prone to trust that false scent of fame
getting lost when that needle's spinning so fast
aint goin soft yet, dont even regret giving my heart away
to ideals as empty as clouds
filling my house with things i thought I had to buy
I got my eye on the kind of beauty I could never know
the kind that positively bowls you over
gets away before you even hit the ground
No I aint looking for good things to come me
I just put my hands up and wait for the tide to come and drag me away
Shelly aint foolin this time, I think she really means it
back in the day I couldnt live that down
got as close as I could get to my cloud out on my own
Its getting so dark and grim, I wouldnt last a day
up against that endless maze
living life underground don't suit you well but I'm alright
Cause I aint looking for good things to come to me
I just put my hands up and wait for the tide to come and drag me away
Don't cast your spell now, cant you see I've just about had enough
In a constant state of disarray, its amusing in a way
I could use somebody else's tears on my shoulder just for once, just for once
No I aint lookin for good things to come to me
I just put my hands up and wait for the tide to come and drag me away
drag me away

I spent all day pulling her apart
I spent all night stripping her down
to the laminate wood grain under the coat
someone had covered up thinking pink was in vogue
I can't sleep at night, all I see is pristine shiny white
Up at the crack of dawn to go and put another couple of coats on
Dad walks by he says its coming along
Got the garage door up and the radio on
Don't talk to me now you see I'm deep in the zone
And when you get that deep you're not even alone anymore
To me its sun up to sun down, don't care what's going on outside
And when my baby's complete its all justified
Some people never know just what its like
to be so overcome with pride
