Blow me up and paint me red
Floating high, I hit my head
Tired of living on a string
Sinking into cushion cracks
Was it time or should I have
Waited for my chance to speak

Mixed it in with perfect taste
I pour it out evaporates
Trying out my auteur side
I'm killing vows I'm wasting time
Another life to undermine
Couldn't breathe in that disguise
I'm in a living room parade
Highly overpaid
I'm in a living room parade
Play it safe
Pick me up but be sure to use plastic bag
So content
With an idle body a restless brain and a supplement
Grandiose
A badge for headaches a trophy for some self control
I'm in a living room parade
Highly overpaid
I'm in a living room parade
