I went out last night again To where the women and the men They pretend not to see each other and then They pretend not to want each other again But nobody looked like me And nobody looked at me No one returned the smiles and sexy stares That I had offered freely And I guess that's okay Everybody's got their own way of surviving day to day Maybe you don't understand my need for human contact Maybe all your love is one big fucking contract
Shot down, shot down Clear the deck cause I'm comin' in fast Shot down, shot down Fears of the present resemble my past Shot down, shot down Clear the deck cause I'm comin' in fast Shot down, shot down
Cause you gotta be so patient Gotta pretend to be so numb I'm not shoppin' around, I swear Just wanted to feel a connection, I swear Just wanted to see myself in somebody else who was there
But that's okay I'm okay We'll all be okay I'm okay
(Chorus)
Keep tossing 'em back, commit treason to reason At least all your clothing's in season Keep the spot hot, let your soul rot Keep the feeling you know is salvation inside Till your spirit just dies of starvation
