I come disguise I was hypnotized Lost a track, struggled back I wanted easy stuff to please me Something in the dark began to squeeze me Seen it, there, then there in the mirror Totally focused, no hocus pocus Dare I give in to this thing gripping my skin To win, thinking how to As The lights of a car go by in a stream Seems like I stand pretty much unseen But I open my eyes and beams Come out Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see Score adds up Angels play Let my loneliness get blown away Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see I lie down in the dust just under your eye A scrap of paper, thin as vapor Filling my clothes like smoke A couple of the wires in my heart are broke I throw, I miss, something, nothing But dreams, schemes, moments wasted Taste I tasted Fate I'm fated Re-edited again then copy pasted As The lights of a car go by in a stream Seems like I stand pretty much unseen But I open my eyes and beams Come out Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see Score adds up Angels play Let my loneliness get blown away Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see When I wanna quit, I suffocate it I chew bubblicious, stress repetitious Vicious, I'm one outsider Up above the streets on the DCY-er Higher, fire in my guts In a rut, but what I've got Is in no can, no other human But I do get lonely, scared I'm phony As The lights of a car go by in a stream Seems like I stand pretty much unseen But I open my eyes and beams Come out Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see Score adds up Angels play Let my loneliness get blown away Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see Gimme, gimme symphonies Gimme more than the life I see Gimme, gimme symphonies Gimme more than the life I see
