Everybody Wants You (Dead).

Lyrics

You did me wrong! Yeah, you screwed me
 But – guess what! I win, you lose
 How funny, what you show when you've got nothing to prove
 Everybody wants you? (You now)
 Everybody wants you dead
 But I want you right here
 To see your face when you've got no one left
 ♪
 Sticky fingers touch the treetops...
 Could we collapse them with one slip?
 Can you really swear by a reality where miles are measured by the inch?
 Tonight we are two
 Dipping toes in flooding puddles
 Programmed romance makes us shudder
 Pictures never do grow old
 Obviously dusting powdery days off your skin
 Familiar eyes are rabid, transplanted to a stranger's skull
 How am I to keep you happy, healthy and strong
 When you harbor such infection, such scar tissue in your bones
 I didn't think dysplasia would so affect it
 You know, tonight there is a crime to commit
 I'm thinking it through
 I'm convinced it's true
 You did me wrong! Yeah, you screwed me
 But – guess what! I win, you lose
 How funny, what you show when you've got nothing to prove
 Everybody wants you? (You now)
 Everybody wants you dead
 But I want you right here
 To see your face when you've got no one left
 You're the beach of my attention but the tide is coming in
 Will you buckle down like barnacles, a one-time contagion?
 Will you passively wade away like layers of pollution?
 Or will you still be holding your breath when tides go out again?
 ♪
 What happened to what you thought of me?
 I shattered all the imagery
 The pretense was a forgery
 I really am what I present
 You know, tonight there's a crime to commit – and I'm the criminal
 Victim and punishment
