Tinkering the final tweaks

Working over night for over 97 weeks

Starved for rejection

Compliments may as well be bullets in my direction

This section is filled with faces telling me

Just keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on

With the devil on your shoulder that is easier said than done.



As for me, I'm too proud to stand alone in line in this crowd

As for what we could have been there's no applause allowed

Learn to take a joke, or learn to take a punch

Let's go on a stopping spree

Starting with the way that you talk to me oh

Hit me with your knowledge stick

Just hit me with your knowledge stick

Just beat me with your knowledge stick

As for me, I'm too proud to stand alone in line in this crowd

As for you, you're too proud to tell me what you're thinking out loud

As for what we could have been there's no applause allowed



And destiny unravels

And boy does it ever baffle us

This raffle stirs up quite a fuss oh oh oh

Wish I could say that I know oh oh oh

As for me, I'm too proud to stand alone in line in this crowd

As for you, you're way too proud to mimic the enthusiasm

Passing off a damn good crowd

As for what we could have been there's no applause allowed
