lyrics

Chorus: The past is always with you.
That’s why nobody gets you.
It’s not true, it’s just catchy.
I’ll be here all night if you let me. (2x)

1. I’m the cream of the cream of the crop, seeking the Queen of the Hop.
Tweaking all the evil, feeble people I meet at the top.
Too revealing, really need the bleeding to stop.
Not ideal but I’m kneeling and I’m wielding the mop.
I’m too legitimate to get intimate over sentiment.
I heard a snippet of her diction, started ripping up her digits.
I will fidget through the whole movie, waiting for the credits.
If you’re gonna bare your soul to me, you’d better let me edit.
If you can’t take the heat, fix the condition of the kitchen.
If the mission doesn’t fit your disposition, here’s permission
To bail out, only making out with other Christians.
Cut the “brother” business, another sucker’s born every minute.
I feel like a beast of burden but at least I’m working.
I’m a person undeserving of the luxury of feeling certain.
Perking up, sure enough, you’re a nothing also.
Mano a mano, bravo, tomorrow gone, I thought so.
Crown me and shout aloud about me from the mountain
I want a sound mount and a palace to run around in.
Almost drowned in the downtown fountain I was found in.
Hounded, surrounded, surmounted without pouting.
I’m a prince formerly known as an artist, and I’m harnessed
To the carcass of my own youth, trapped in a phone booth.
Either whistling the “Carol of the Bells” or “Raining Blood.”
If I ain’t making love at least my name isn’t mud.
I’ve never been drunk, never fired or flunked.
I definitely had more fun being myself when I could dunk.
I’ve got some literal junk in my literal trunk.
You’re not a critic or a cynic, just a typical punk.
Going nowhere in a hurry, ghost-riding the gurney.
Approaching thirty, please forgive me if I seem a little surly.
Wouldn’t worry if I didn’t think I might run out of cheap tricks.
Some days I just wanna go back to being Prefix.

Chorus (2x)
