Losing a whole year I remember you and me used to spend the whole goddamned day in bed Losing a whole year Lying in your room we'd lay like dogs The phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid Rich daddy left you with a parachute Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute But your daddy left you with no love You touch everything with a velvet glove and Now you want to try a life of sin You want to be down with the down and in Always copping my truths I kind of get the feeling like I'm being used And now I realize you never heard One goddamned word I ever said Losing a whole year Took your stuff and put it in the basement When I found out what the smile on your face meant I've seen you pop that check Craning your neck at my car wreck It always seems the juice used to flow In the car, in the kitchen you were good to go Now we're stuck with the tube A sink full of dishes and some aqualube I remember you and me used to spend the whole gotdamn day in bed Losing a whole year And if it's not the defense then you're on the attack When you start talking I hear the Prozac Convinced you've found your place With the pierced queer teens in Cyberspace When you were yourself it tasted sweet But it sours into a routine deceit Well this drama is a bore And I don't want to play no more I remember you and me used to spend the whole gotdamn day in bed
