Excuse me while I die

A million times before I meet

Your eyes with mine

Find all the promises you make

Before you leave me on the shelf

Then I'll have no one to blame

Yes I've got no one to blame

Excuse me while I try to be somebody

That you might decide you like

Enough to come over to my place

And as my heart begins to swell

I'll forget to wear that face

That you got to know so well

And you'll see me as I am

Just an empty broken shell

Then I'll have no one to blame

Yes I've got no one to blame

But myself

See there's a mystery in your eyes

A kind of swimming pool swimming fools

Like me

So

Excuse me while I fly

High up above this broken town as I look down

On all the people as they say

That they're always here to help

In my heart I know that they

Couldn't catch me if I fell

Only you could take the weight

Of this ancient wicked spell

Then you'll have no one to blame

Yes you've got no one to blame

Then you'll have no one to blame

But yourself

See there's a mystery in your eyes

A kind of swimming pool swimming fools

Like me

Oh mister mystery
