Warsaw or the First Breath You Take After You Give Up

Can't afford to lose my head (lose my head)

Can't afford to lose my cool

You'll blow them all in kingdom come (kingdom come)

I can't afford to lose my tease

I just aim to please

Feel like a no-tell motel painting

Out of place or ignored

It's all medals and trophies, trophies and medals

All before the race has been run

(Oh, take off your mask) Take it off now baby

(Is it too much to ask?) Too much to ask

(Go on and give it a try) Let it up now

(Or kiss your ass goodbye) Goodbye

Autobiographical anonymous (anonymous)

A cotillion of friction on my jurisdiction

It's a lovely disguise with the wandering eyes (wandering eyes)

I get high, now you've got something to look up to

Trouble's a mangy stray dog

Play with it once, then it follows you home

It's all have nots, have nones, hey can I have some?

Until I've had enough yet I've had none

(Oh, take off your mask) Rip it off now baby

(Lose it into the trash) Throw it all away

(Go on and give it a try) Throw it all away

(Or kiss your ass goodbye)

Suddenly it gets easy

The sun goes down

The long arm of important things

Disappears in her gown

You finally drop the knife

Forget you ever

It's a goodnight, that ain't forever

It feels so good to give up, give in

In your arms

I know it hurts

It hurts to be young

Metamorphosis is pain

It hurts to be young

Gotta learn every Goddamn thing

You gotta hack your way through

And realize

It's almost entirely lies

But then you'll begin to smile

Smile for me

Real wide

Then you accept what you are

The transformation is done

You've become

Absorbed into and you know

I think I know what to do
