I've been running around on my very own cloud
since the moment that we met
I've been falling all over every step I take
'cause I feel so out of place
All the chemicals in my thinning blood
won't keep me from your love
and I could walk out at any time
but why would I want to leave you?
You got something I can't ignore
When I'm out of a job and my money's all gone
I will find a way to pay for you
I'm a struggling artist but I'd give it all up
if I could get another bump with you
I would kill myself for the feeling that I get when I'm a part
of the classicists, the kids who shift their cells as art
You got something I can't ignore
You pull me like a carousel
around this failing life
I got my drug, my speed,
my love is waning all the time
I'll bleed to death and swallow everything you say:
every little particle, the parts you've had enough of
