(w/ riff 1)
I move across, innocence lost
all flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites

(w/ riff 1)
"You're so bitter," your complaint
I can't give you anything.
I don't know who you're livin for
I don't know you at all anymore.

F          Bb
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
A       C
Than be trapped in this cell
F           Bb              A           C
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me

Am    C    G      {riff 2}
I can't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore


Move across, candy floss
I move like a tank
Move across the room
with heart full of glue I'm stronger than you think

Oh my peer,
your venier is wearing thin and cracking.
the surface and forms underneath,
underneath is lacking.

I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore

You move across, innocence lost,
all static and desire,
you're blue in the face from a makeup case,
you set yourself on fire.

you strip down, lay yourself out
I know you can't fake it,
but are you tired and naked?
Are you tired and naked?  Well,

I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me

I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for.
I don't know what I want anymore.
