f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k
This is your new thing now
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Naked as a rose
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Everything exposed
f18f9122g22173pff20k
But not quite
f18f9122g22173pff20k
This is your new thing now
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Cards out on the table
f18f9122g22173pff20k
A genius with no label
f18f9122g22173pff20k
But not quite, not quite
f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k
God, I swear it's good to be back home
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone
f18f9122g22173pff20k
All the other girls are still at war
f18f9122g22173pff20k
The best and worst of 1994
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Sometimes I see the half and not the whole
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Sometimes I see the face and not the soul
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Sometimes I think this place has no part
f18f9122g22173pff20k
For anyone who ever had a heart
f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k
This is your new thing now
f18f9122g22173pff20k
And it looks so good in print
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Just a poet and her pimps
f18f9122g22173pff20k
But not quite
f18f9122g22173pff20k
This is your new thing now
f18f9122g22173pff20k
A prom dress and a sneer
f18f9122g22173pff20k
The woman of the year
f18f9122g22173pff20k
But not quite, not quite
f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k
Gee, it's good to see a dream come true
f18f9122g22173pff20k
People smile and bless all over you
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Mixing up those latest junkie-isms
f18f9122g22173pff20k
With all the pretty terms of religion
f18f9122g22173pff20k
And don't you love the leader of the band
f18f9122g22173pff20k
Equal parts Butthead and Peter Pan
f18f9122g22173pff20k
All the other kids are sad again
f18f9122g22173pff20k
A legend's not a legend 'til it ends
f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k
This is your new thing now
f18f9122g22173pff20k
And it makes the whole world spin
f18f9122g22173pff20k
It's as least as old as sin
f18f9122g22173pff20k
But not quite
f18f9122g22173pff20k
This is your new thing now
f18f9122g22173pff20k
And now you're turning grinning
f18f9122g22173pff20k
But maybe no one's listening
f18f9122g22173pff20k
And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might
f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k

f18f9122g22173pff20k
This is your new thing now
f18f9122g22173pff20k
And it feels so good to doubt you
f18f9122g22173pff20k
I could almost live without you
f18f9122g22173pff20k
But not quite
f18f9122g22173pff20k
