Turning on the TV, everybody knows me

Everybody sees me, everybody stares

Then they cut to your face, handsome in your disgrace

Cameramen, they give chase, everybody cares


You said

We could

Runaway, we just need a distraction

You said

We might

Slip away with some cool misdirection tonight


I was too naive and strung out

Too pent up to burn out

Too sucked in to tune out

Too worn out to cry 

And I could not detect it

Even when our eyes met

We've all got our secrets

Everybody lies


You said

We could

Runaway, we just need a distraction

You said

We might

Slip away with some cool misdirection tonight


I wake up from my darkest dream

So shook up I wanna scream

I wish I could just wash your voice away

But I hear it everyday

Every night as I try to sleep

There's a vampire that comes to feed

And he smiles as he sucks and drains my veins

And that's fine with me 


You said

We could

Runaway, we just need a distraction

You said

We might

Slip away with some cool misdirection 

You said

We should

Treat our love as our one true possession

You said

We might 

Slip away with some cool misdirection tonight
