Broken Record

Oh, the paper yesterday was an unseemly gray with grayer news
Which headline should I choose
To pull me down into the deep?

And I'm dwelling on decisions I made when inhibitions were cast aside
And wondering if I'll die
Before I finally fall asleep

But as soon as I saw her face, though the clouds remained, I believed that they could turn
And my friends, they tell me that I've lost my taste, 'cause they'll never ever learn

Bring me back
Oh, bring me up
Just like that

(Just like that)
Ha!

Those synthetic smiling faces are surely trading places to play a trick
Let's see if it will stick
And they'll find strangers in the mirror

And my friends they know me better than I do, say I'd better just stay at home
There's no one that I'd know
And just like that they disappear

But as soon as I saw her face, though the clouds remained, I believed that they could turn
And my friends, they tell me that I've lost my taste, 'cause they'll never ever learn
And if the firelight could meet your eyes, need it tell you that it burns?
'Cause I found the one who would wield the gun and I loved them, though it hurt

Bring me back
Oh, bring me up
Woo!
Just like that
