[Intro]
Did the seesaw nights put their hands on you?
I can't really say
I can't really say
Are you swinging from the eaves in a tasteful noose?
I can't really say
I can't really say

[Verse 1]
You're following a flashlight down utility halls
And then you mumble to yourself that this has all been your fault
And oh, you're not laughing
You're not laughing, are you?

And now some local loser with a tape and a badge
Wants you to answer from the list of pointless questions to ask
And no he's not sincere
You're not sincere, are you?

[Bridge]
Then the howls and moans pour from the black
And it's a sea of blank faces straight to the back
Aggressively mediocre in every single way
Yet you're the only reason that they came

[Chorus]
So if you have to keep singing then
Singing should be fine
And if it ain't what you had pictured
Yeah
That sounds about right
[Verse 2]
Does it matter much to me to mean a thing to you?
I can't really say
I can't
No I can't say

They blather incessantly
Every drossy last one
And in their clamor for attention
Vomiting opinions
But oh you weren't asking
You're not asking, are you?

Ain't it hard when you discover that
The only thing you ever loved is passing your hat
And anything that's got a pulse is doing just the same
And you're the only reason that you came

[Chorus]
So if you have to keep singing
Then singing should be fine
And if it ain't what you had pictured then
Yeah that's about right
Said if you have to keep singing
Then singing should be fine
And if it ain't what you had pictured then
Yeah that sounds about right
