i'll be trying to obliterate, i'll end up there again
i've been stuck in this routine ever since i don't know when
i'll wake up alive, relieved or in pain
in a panic like the nurse who keeps missing the vein

don't show me the way
don't show me the way
with your dodgy directions
i'll get lost anyway

you'll always have a word
of advice to spare -
don't show me the way
if you haven't been there

is your life that uneventful? so little to do?
why is how i get there so important to you?

you see me hesitate, you insist i use your map
i know where i'm going, so just give me a gap
please get off my back, i've already done the course
i don't need a rider, i'm not that kind of horse

you offered your shoulder, but i wore a smile
you become paranoid and you criticise my style
so let's drink a toast, rise to the occasion
i still feel like death from emotional starvation

don't show me the way
don't show me the way
with your dodgy directions
i'll get lost anyway

you'll always have a word
of advice to spare -
don't show me the way
if you haven't been there
