COUNTING CROWS - Love and Addiction lyrics

rate me

Put on your bad self

Get out your party dress

And fix up your makeup

Try to make a good impression

This is a new world

We're all the same here

Well, maybe not the same

But you know what I mean

I've got everything that you want

I've got everything and

Someday I'll be president

And I've got everything that you want

I've got everything

Except the single thing you really need

Separate love from addiction

It's not the same

I know I see desperation pulling my strings

Hey, Eliza, now what do you want?

I play piano, and I sing like a hummingbird

And, oh, I forgot that

Hummingbirds don't sing

It doesn't matter really

You know what I mean

I've got everything that you want

I've got everything

And it's a brand new world, Eliza

I've go everything that you want

I've got everything

Except the single thing you really need

Set away blood and rejection

I know I see the generation staring back at me

Wasted away

Wasting my time

This picture you see

Is nothing like the one you wanted painted of me

Well, I deserve this

That's all right with me

(??) You should know (??)

It wouldn't be the first time

You know, it's happened a couple of times before

Man, I don't even expect much anymore

But anyway

It's not as if I were waiting for you to come and make it all okay

SHUT AWAY(not seperate) between blood and rejection

I know I see visions of people running over me

Yeah, wasted away

Wasting my time

This picture you see

Is nothing like the one I wanted painted of me

Put on your bad self

Get out your party dress

And fix up your makeup

Try to make a good impression
