Beauty is a drug and

It's coursing through my veins

I sit at home staring at your picture

While my colleagues discuss capital gains

This love's just a cloud of cigarette smoke

Blows away on the wind

But it stays in your throat

And the coughing is worse

Than ever these days

You walk into the room

And I can't look up at you

All my concentrated efforts

Added up to one big thing

I never meant to do

My heart's been misfiled

By the U S Postal Service

All these people with

Their expectations make me so nervous

And people like them could never be

Like people like you

You're too bright for me

I'm too dumb for you

In the night I see your face in the moon

You're the one who stands rock

Solid in the shifting sands

And I'm a bad bad man

With a place in my heart for you

I got to the place where secret things are sold

Thunder in the distance

And it sounds like it's a million years old

I see your hair like a waterfall falling

Feel like a long drunk

In the parking lot bawling

And I don't know how

This house got so incredibly cold

I can't explain it and nobody cares to know

Long-dead women call

My name from deep inside my radio

I set surrounded by my money and my glory

Numbly re-telling my little pointless life story

And the chandeliers winked as if to say

"We know"

And I've confessed all my sins

I'm just the type who never ever wins

And I pray to God every weekend

I fit it in

And I've kept you waiting so long

But everything's gonna be different

When I finish this song

And I know myself better than anyone

Who's to say I'm wrong

You're too bright for me

I'm too dumb for you

In the night I see your face in the moon

You're the one who stands rock

Solid in the shifting sands

And I'm a bad bad man

With a place in my heart for you
