This is your new thing now 
Naked as a rose 
Everything exposed 
But not quite 
This is your new thing now 
Cards out on the table 
A genius with no label 
But not quite  not quite 
God  I swear it's good to be back home 
Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone 
All the other girls are still at war 
The best and worst of 1994 
Sometimes I see the half and not the whole 
Sometimes I see the face and not the soul 
Sometimes I think this place has no part 
For anyone who ever had a heart 

This is your new thing now 
And it looks so good in print 
Just a poet and her pimps 
But not quite 
This is your new thing now 
A prom dress and a sneer 
The woman of the year 
But not quite, not quite 

Gee, it's good to see a dream come true 
People smile and bless all over you 
Mixing up those latest junkie-isms 
With all the pretty terms of religion 
And don't you love the leader of the band 
Equal parts Butthead and Peter Pan 
All the other kids are sad again 
A legend's not a legend 'til it ends 

This is your new thing now 
And it makes the whole world spin 
It's as least as old as sin 
But not quite 
This is your new thing now 
And now you're turning grinning 
But maybe no one's listening 
And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might 

This is your new thing now 
And it feels so good to doubt you 
I could almost live without you 
But not quite
