lyrics

oh what's a devil to do
when those old delusions so tried and true
don't come through like they used to?

ugh all my money's run out
i blew it all on a cumulus cloud
that dissipated so fast, seems the good times never last

and i always fall flat on my back, like an upside-down cat
but is bad luck really such a crime?
if you won't be my valentine, could you at least give me a little bit of sympathy?

oh i made a silly mistake (what'd you do?)
i've given up more than i can take (uh oh!)
and left hollows in my wake

my structure's compromised
but you still batter at all my fault lines
i can't run, i can't hide, but you can't say i didn't try

to retreat back into me like a catabolic seed
i want to destroy everything that's mine!
if you won't be my valentine, could you at least give me a little bit of sympathy?

i don't care if i'm losing myself in the garden of earthly delights
i could drop dead right where i stand, i wouldn't mind
