CHANGE: I guess that I’ll go to the liquor store And pass the Cuckoo’s Nest Please don't call me Superman I'm such a fake I think I'll change But I think I love you I found myself in bed again World's turning gray Someone shot the candy man It's fucking great I think I'll change But not today Cuz I think I love you Love you Love you DON'T STARE AT ME: Well don’t stare at me like you aren’t Boring! You’re so boring! You’re so boring to me! But that’s just how it goes When love keeps holding onto you

Tommy never learned how to cry Tommy wasn’t like the other guys Tommy doesn’t sleep much at night Tommy never learned how to fight Tommy wants to dress up like the bride Tommy where else can you hide? He’s living the dream Of misery and agony We’re all celebrities Cast in the wrong movies But what if he sees He's used up every ace inside his sleeves They can't scare us He knows, they can't scare him He knows, they can't scare him He knows, they can't scare him He’s tearing the seams It’s time to show them Everything we’ve got There is a way out, I know They can’t scare us They can’t scare us They won’t let us Tommy, Tommy wants to be a star He’s leaving and we know he’ll go far Cuz Tommy, won't you follow your heart He’s living the dream Of misery and agony We’re all celebrities Cast in the wrong movies He’s reading his scenes Showing everybody what he’s got There is a way out He knows there is a way out He knows there is a way out He knows there is a way out

You left, 10,000 years ago I'm telling it all Even some stories never get told Started off slow I’ve sailed over the mountains Surfed every island And fell in love I cleaned up every Emmy Oscar and Grammy, even the Noble Prize I’ve stopped natural disasters Cured every cancer and healed the blind You left, 10,000 years ago A tale so tall Even some stories never get told You'll never know I’ve beat every world record Objectively answered The meaning to life? I don’t need to love you anymore

It's the end of the scene I can't believe that you're in my story Well stop and listen To all of the things that we've been through Follow my lead I won't misguide you We get older, grows shorter There's nothing to do about that one We're just a burning whole disaster Carelessly divine I'm tragically sought after By arrogance in time I'll never be alone They're on my side And it's Christmas time I can be what you see when I'm staring right into your eyes I think I finally learned the lesson There's no lesson for this life I'm delicate and fragile Unorthodox to fight I'll never be alone They're on my side And it's Christmas time In your eyes I will finally find You're on my side And it's Christmas time Christmas time
