Oh my god say it ain't so matchstick legs got nowhere to go shuffling through the afterglow matchstick legs got nowhere to go Oh my god say it ain't so matchstick legs got nowhere to go shuffling through the afterglow but china cheeks won't let you grow so you move them and you break them and you start again, on the pyre again and you shake them, cause you ain't them and you ache but you ignite again and I won't tear you apart When your paper seams become unglued and the animal splinters out of you and you curse the walls for their untruths well you're lying to yourself, its for you to choose and you'll be alright, you'll be just fine When the pressure clouds like cellophane tapped, like a balloon into a place where you pour yourself into a haze put one foot forth and then again and you'll be alright, you'll be just fine another flower on a washed out window pane another moment to be added to a picture frame another scale sewn on to your patchwork back

The night you fell across a flame that danced before your eyes, felt the storm inside your chest although it happened countless times and would again Straight in to the deep end, way out back, all stars and speaking and then Step through a door and look around, you're in another world but you don't know how you got away Pretty colours, the sponge walls of the ballroom and a frantic waltz you've known for years and when the moment's over, you start all over again Then you shudder and the bliss turns to an itch with every second effervescent, oh there must be more than this and then there is No reason, it can't be true that you can redesign yourself as though with sellotape or glue but then you do Step through a door and look around, you're in another world but you don't know how you got away Pretty colours, the sponge walls of the ballroom and a frantic waltz you've known for years and when the moment's over, you start all over again you lie awake and shy away and lie awake and shy away and nothing's ever here to stay that silver feeling, gone away Step through a door and look around, you're in another world but you don't know how you got away new skin seems an appealing vice to behind and drown your fears and when the moment's over, you start all over again

rise and shine it's no good but I thought you understood the time has come to join the race plastic smile and a brave face it's what you chose, for your own good you're giving up like I knew you would say they estrange you, rearrange you say they estrange you, rearrange you got us rolling, blindfold but we had all the time and guidance in the world to plan ahead for future wealth set up by our teenage self but you disregarded our point of view and all the changes we were going through preoccupied by x-ray eyes stomach reeling, first times
