Fadeaway

We've been on a bunch of dates
 I weigh debates that this creates
 And hate that state of forced introspection
 We traded wit
 We swapped some spit
 You fingered me a little bit
 But we never really had a connection
 You did nothing wrong
 I have no excuse
 Just my intuition telling me we shouldn't reproduce
 I know I have to end it
 But pretend to just suspend it
 By contending that I'm busy all week
 I let the foregon linger on
 Text back with an emoticon
 Withdraw from you by being oblique
 Inside I know my tactics just delay it
 But I'll do anything so I don't have to say it
 I'll draw this out forever like Vietnam
 And one day I'll be gone like Bambi's mom
 Awww
 Cause there's the right thing to do
 Then there's what I'm gonna do
 There's much I should say
 But instead, I do the fadeaway
 Fadeaway
 Now I'm a fading like chalk on a sidewalk
 Or the polio virus after Jonas Salk
 A Jewish guy in Sizzler on Yom Kippur
 The Whig Party post Millard Fillmore
 The erection of a man on antidepressants
 The Diffrent Strokes cast after adolescence
 A Jewish guy in Sizzler on Yom Kippur
 The Whig Party post Millard Fillmore
 Reproductive rights below the Mason-Dixon
 Native Americans after the barter system
 Your thyroid gland after Hashimoto
 The family in the Back to the Future photo
 Yeah I fadeaway
 We say that men are assholes who don't communicate
 We revel in our victimhood and amplify our hate
 We find ways to be indignant like it's a sport
 Then dissect their malignanace with the views we distort
 The way men breakup may be sloppy and terse
 What they do is bad
 But what we do is worse
 We pretend to ourselves it's the nice thing to do
 To let you down gently by just not fucking telling you
 And deep down we know it's the worst way to play it
 But we are what we have... huge pussies
 And women are hypocrites
 Especially ones in comedy bands
 We see your faults but not our own
 Then we wonder why we're all alone
 We fill you up with maybes, excuses and stalls
 But like a baby in China
 It's better to have balls
 Not the Good Wife type like Christine Baranski:
 So I'll pull out and leave
 Like I'm Roman Polanski
 Awww
 Cause there's the right thing to do
 Then there's what I'm gonna do
 There's much I should say
 But instead, I do the fadeaway
 Fadeaway
 Like Verbal Kint fading into Keyser Soze
 The rights in Arizona for a guy named Jose
 Opportunities for a college grad
 The love between your mom and dad
 Gonna Peter out like gay Cetera
 Iranian relations since the Regan era
 Black Nike sales after Heaven's Gate
 Summer camp attendance at Penn State
 The name Adolph after World War II
 Like Debbie Gibson's pop career out of the blue
 Yeah I fadeaway
 Cause I don't wanna get to know you
 I just want to blow you
 Off
