In a dark room at the heart of the city

The basement brings a heavy crowd

And I know there's a right way

But I can't stop from getting down

These people are mad

Will they grow up

Why can't I do the same

Why can't I be okay

The style and the grace of a small town



Is there any truth to the recipe

I've been mixing thrills in the right key

But I don't feel right in my skin

So I don't feel anything at all

I leave emotion at the door

Like a desperate boy on last call

No, I don't feel right in my skin

So I don't feel anything at all



There's a bad place in the back of the room

No one moves without a cue

Cause they know there's a right way

Yeah, all the know is getting down

These people are mad

And so am I 

Yeah, I caught on

In the nick of time

Before the lights turn on

I can blend into the crowd

Don't come with me tonight

If I said I cared for you I lied



Is there any truth to the recipe

I've been mixing thrills in the right key

But I don't feel right in my skin

So I don't feel anything at all

I leave emotion at the door

Like a desperate boy on last call

No, I don't feel right in my skin

So I don't feel anything at all



Don't come with me tonight

If I said I cared for you I lied

You waste no time tonight

Take me home if it costs your life



Is there any truth to the recipe

I've been mixing thrills in the right key

But I don't feel right in my skin

So I don't feel anything at all

I leave emotion at the door

Like a desperate boy on last call

No, I don't feel right in my skin

So I don't feel anything at all
