Le Facteur

[Intro] Do you feel like no one needs you? Do you feel like all the joy is gone? When a bitter dream, cracks through your grinning mask: Look beyond the shattered pieces And clear the wreckage [Verse 1] I got a closet full of broken legs that I don't wanna stand on It's planned wrong. It's like, "I don't understand, Mom." The same, sad song and dance gone awry, on demand On the fly, cross the land, by and by, ride or die Left high and dry, run into the sandbar Praying for a high tide or a run-in with the land shark A landmark, anything that signifies a hope That I'll be going back to charting open water. I can taste it Face it. It's time to let the birds out of their cages I'm out of my patience. I ain't seen a lighthouse in ages Pages are cluttered, I'm undercover Wishing for a lover, while I'm singing for my supper, like: [Hook] And she dances like the ocean By candlelight. A fan of my devotion A phantom of the floating opera And she honored my system But I'm the victim She brought a pax on my wisdom [Verse 2] Blood-drunk with an incurable hangover And I'm unsure if I'll stay sober It's like, I know it ain't over Your heart belongs to me now, but it's certain to change owners And it's that strange odor, more than fishy That's got me warped and shifty, fishing in a lost cause Lock, stock, and two smoking earlobes. Some third-grade De Niro With a hero complex, zeroed in and singing And dancing, for the bullets flying at my feet While I feed her hunger, she's harassing me But I turn it around, casually Light a match and watch her laugh-factory burn to the ground [Bridge] x2 She holds that pose, where no grass grows Just a cold black rose, on an old back road [Hook 2] And she dances like the ocean By candlelight. A fan of my demotion A phantom of the floating opera And she honored my system But I'm the victim She brought a pax on my wisdom And she dances like the ocean By candlelight. A fan of my devotion A phantom of the floating opera [Outro] Why should we be at such desperate haste to succeed? And in such desperate enterprises? Look beyond the shattered pieces And clear the wreckage
