lyrics

I like the way Audrey Hepburn smiles at me.
It makes me feel just like a wild animal that can’t climb up into his tree.

Why do we put ourselves through this life?
Why do we wait so long?
Why do we put ourselves through this life,
Just to come home alone?

I like the way Marilyn Monroe seems to know everything little thing about me.
I don’t have no missile controls, but she doesn’t care, she doesn’t care…
My, my, you walk so tall, that saber-toothed tiger never stood a chance.
Well you say you’ll strike him down and carve him into a leather jacket,
And a pair of pants, with you bare hands, yeah.

Why do we put ourselves through this life?
Why do we wait so long?
Why do we put ourselves through your lies,
Just to go home alone.

You might say I’m enlightened, now,
You might say I’m enlightened, now.
I pay my simple respects to Mr. Rising,
But lonely tears are not better.

Sometimes I forget how it tastes inside of my mouth.
And the sound of my own name feels just about as strange as shattered glass.
Strangers can be dangerous, I know that for a fact,
I heard it in my last life.
Who could have put an end to me,
It might have been the same man who gave that advice.

Why do we put ourselves through this life?
Why does it take so long?
You think I can’t see the gleam of your knife,
Just to go home alone.

You might say I’m enlightened.
You might say I’m enlightened.
I pay my simple respects to Mr. Rising.
But lonely tears are not better.

Lonely tears are not better.
Lonely tears are not--
Lonely tears are not better.
