So much for apathy 
And scraping up your knees. 
The midwest is a tease, 
And missing out is universal. 

'E' stands for everything, 
And 'bloody' means the same 
No matter where you live 
Or who you call when bad news sticks to you. 

Is it easy to believe 
That distance and disease 
Separate the six degrees? 

And the day will come
When you make someone 
Make someone want to stay. 

Dress down the calendar, 
The fashion in decline. 
Pacific Standard Time is slow, 
So ask yourself: Am I a 'Lucky Star' 
Or am I 'Like a Prayer' 
Or do I even dare 
To peel away the off-white face again? 

You can see it on the screen, 
A guest in the machine 
Never saying what you mean. 

And the day will come when
You make someone 
Make someone want to stay.

Stay...
Wanna stay...
