lyrics
Tracing circles with my fingertips,
it must be vile, see how it stains the plastic?
So are you sure thats what you really want?
Oh I see you just want to stay and talk.
Well what's that, what's that you ask?
Yes I'm still taking classes.
You know you get under my skin
and I swear I could get under you skin.
If you knew me outside this sheltered pen,
and if you could see my insides, you'd change your opinion
about what it is i'm after
and why it seems I care
about your goddamn weekend and your ethics paper!
Cause I know what I want
and I know how to get it!
I know what I want
but I hope I don't lose it.
Down the hatch I go again.
Am I selling you lunch or am I selling you bullshit?
You have the most wretched smile, decrepit teeth sugar coated in sweetner.
I know now, I know how
I know what I need is not what I want.
