Maverick, well do you recall the feelings you were sold?<br />
Like Manhattan in the fall and all the washed away brigade within the soul<br />
How it flickered in the neon by the seventh,<br />
And so meaninglessly sentimental<br />
<br />
Maverick, now we only want the feelings we can sell<br />
Near the bridge beyond eleventh where you contemplate the candle on the wall<br />
Mesmerizing, how it flickers by the subway, yeah,<br />
Well we can sell it all<br />
<br />
Now you turn to me like a friend<br />
Your stock is rising again<br />
Sell yourself and I'll try to pretend<br />
At least that's something<br />
Figures up but predictions are low<br />
Carry you all the way to the show<br />
So for now you've got nowhere to go<br />
I'll drop you later<br />
<br />
These are the days and the stakes are so high<br />
No one will say that they care as much as I do...<br />
<br />
She waits for you by the stage<br />
So glittering and engaged<br />
Much too late for you to engage<br />
In awkward silence<br />
Say the word and she'll always be there<br />
Intentions perfectly clear<br />
Telling you all that you need to hear<br />
And it's all for you<br />
And she says...<br />
<br />
These are the days when you make me alive<br />
No one will say that they love you as much as I do...<br />
<br />
Shut up! Shut up!<br />
<br />
Hair spray, deranged, the smell of in-between still lingers<br />
And the cheapness just keeps reaping to the old refrains still lingering<br />
The only sound you hear, the quiet falling of the rain inside<br />
Your beautiful playground on this Losers' Day parade<br />
<br />
Maverick, you idiot, the meakeup and the fakeup,<br />
All the falsy just like palsy and you still don't learn<br />
Excuses are so stupid, your remedial behaviour<br />
With all this comfort purchase and you still won't learn<br />
<br />
So to the ironbound section of the Avenue L<br />
Where the disperate faces come to see what you sell<br />
Live divine, feelings once mine, charcoal color of your soul<br />
<br />
If I carved you heart right onto my skin<br />
You were never in my thougts when I turned to sing<br />
Cut the wire, wait a pointless hour, meaningless never should have been<br />
<br />
So the architect wants a prettier song<br />
Like a dead end anthem for the kids gone wrong<br />
Immaculate dreams chasing beautiful scenes, designs for life (into your heart)<br />
<br />
Hey Mr. Nameless, do I seem a bit insensitive?<br />
I'm trying to forget what you are...<br />
Well I'm hoping you have seen us and it will not come between us<br />
So how could you let it go this far?<br />
Dead nobodies in company cars...<br />
<br />
Is this the radio that's safely saturating you,<br />
I pray that you rmemeber when the wheels stop spinning<br />
I walk to the wreckage and I dream of middle England<br />
This consolation travelled so far...<br />
Dead nobodies in company cars...<br />
<br />
This lonliness wherever you are...<br />
Dead nobodies in company cars...
