Put on your bad self
Get out your party dress and
Fix up your makeup
Try to make a good impression

This is a new world
We're all the same here
Well, maybe not the same
But you know what I mean

I've got everything that you want
I've got everything and someday, I'll be president
And I've got everything that you want
I've got everything and honey, are you listening?

Hey, Eliza, now what do you want?
I play piano, and I sing like a humming bird, and
Oh, I forgot that humming birds don't sing
It doesn't matter, really, you know what I mean

Separate love from addiction
It's not the same
I know, I see
Desperation pulling my strings

Take out your hairpins and
Lift up your party dress and
Sit back and listen for the rush of suffering
Hey, Eliza, is this what you want?
Sometimes you compromise to get the things you need
I've got everything that you want
I've got everything and it's a brand new world, Eliza
I've got everything that you want
I've got everything, except the single thing you really need

Send away
Blood and rejection, they isolate
I know I see a generation staring back at me
Wasted away, wasted my time
This picture you see is nothing like the one I want painted of me

Eliza says, "It's alright with me, if you're sure
It wouldn't be the first time
You know it's happened a couple of times before
And I don't even expect much anymore anyway
It's not as if I was waiting for you to come and make it all okay"
Yeah, but your family is gone, Eliza
So won’t you look into my eyes, Eliza?

Shut away to wean blood and rejection, they isolate
I know I see visions of people running over me, yeah
Wasted away, wasted my time
This picture you see is nothing like the one I want painted of me

Put on your bad self
Get out your party dress and
Fix up your makeup
Try to make a good impression
