lyrics
Oh baby you've mistaken silence for super-natural depth.
Oh baby, you've mistaken eyes that are dry for eyes that have never wept.
Oh don't get sentimental. I'm a life-long master of contempt.
Oh darling don't you get upset, it's a trend, it's a Hollywood secret.
So wait, so watch, and say something to change my mind.
I would carry out these threats; it's just too bad this time
All the Hospitals are closed tonight. The city morgue put up their capacity signs.
Everyone you love is on your side. All the hospitals are closed tonight. Tonight
Oh darling you've mistaken these lies for everlasting love.
Don't' you dare underestimate a lonely girl with a broken heart.
Won't you feel sorry for me? Won't you all gather 'round me?
How long with stunts like these keep you all busy, and me sage and sound?
Don't cut too deep.
Take all those pills.
Fake all your pain.
Borrowed from us don't cut deep, stay shallow, take all those pills don't swallow,
fake all the pain borrowed from all of us who sigh when you weep.
