this town smells like a hair salon
but nobody here leaves their porch lights on
suddenly everything feels so wrong
i'm almost gone
i'm almost
this girl's made out of styrofoam
silently screaming and strung out on methadone
she's waiting for someone to walk her home
she's all alone
she's all alone
if you say perfect one more time i swear i'm gonna sigh
if you're so perfect shake my hand under this velvet sky
flip a quarter here's your chance to earn the bragging rights
you can have the west side but i've got dibs on goodbye
four a.m. and trying to hide the shakes
hoping to get some sleep for my own sake
we are biting to stay awake
it's a mistake
if you say perfect one more time i swear i'm gonna sigh
if you're so perfect shake my hand under this velvet sky
flip a quarter here's your chance to earn the bragging rights
you can have the west side but i've got dibs on goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
goodbye goodbye goodbye
