Well I’m sad to admit I’ve been part of a problem
It’s happening with some on a race to the bottom
We deserve much better
It’s always been the same old story;
An allegory of glory with gory details
Left out of the frame
(Does she know your name?)
Hurt people hurt people
I hurt myself today
(I’m tryna stay out of the way)
Hurt people hurt people
I hope that they’re OK
However I said it
You know that I meant it
Gonna live to regret it
All night…
You can take what I learned from my bullshit
I can share what I learn when I get in my own way
Spending year after year being lonely
Cos I can’t figure out how to help myself today
Love people love people
We need that shit to grow
(If you know, you know)
Love people love people
Like it’s everything we know
So let it show

I’m amazed we’re not as crinkled as our clothes ended up this morning
(I noticed wrinkles on my skin while you were yawning)
Frayed and tattered
(We just idly chatted)
And scattered on the floor
And it’s not like it mattered
Like it did before
(When this was the thing I was waiting for)
Aw thanks man, I’m flattered
But I told you I’m an open door
So long
Too late
Sounds wrong
But feels great
And I came to play…
(Didn’t come to f**k around now, did I!)
Alright
Okay
But things could be better
One day…
So I’ll change my way
(Good legends, it is with great pride and passion that I bring you, the second verse)
It remains as simple as if he walks through the door without warning
And if it happens
Then it’s not worth dying for. Or…
It’s just a pattern
(And it feels like we’re in Lower-East Manhattan)
That’s been woven into space and time
(If you’re wondering ‘bout my placement I’m…)
You’re as far away as Saturn
(I can taste my prime)
But I get lonely and I’ve wasted mine
So long
(So long)
Too late
(Too late)
Sounds wrong
(Sounds wrong)
But feels great
(Feels great)
And I came to play…
It’s alright
(Alright)
It’s okay
(Okay)
But things could be better
One day…
So I’ll change my way

Dance…
(Double-time soul clap!)
Sorry, what?
(That wasn’t what you were expecting, was it!)
Hoo!
(Sing it for me)
Yeah
Show me you can feel it, uh!
It’s like the 12” Mix, come on!
(Yeah)
That’s right
(Huh)
Shake it
(What?)
Shake it
(Oi, he said shake it!)
Feet don’t fail me now!
So long
