You can have Washington I'll take New Jersey 

You can have London but I want New York city 



I should get Providence I've got a job now 

Los Angeles - obvious - that's where you belong now 



You can have Africa, Asia, Australia 

As long as you keep your hands off cafe pamplona 



We can split germany right down the middle 

You'd hate it there anyway 

Take berlin and we'll call it even 



You can have all of the carry-on baggage 

I'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language 



on special occasions we'll split between parents

who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends



you call it over and i call you psycho

significant other? just say we were lovers!

And we'll call it even, we'll call it even.



I am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered 

Disgused as a hero to get past your borders 

I know when I'm wanted I'll leave if you ask me to 

Mind my own business and speak when I'm spoken to 



I am the tower around which you orbited

I am not proud, I am just taking orders

I fall to the ground within hours of impact

I hit back when hit and attack when attacked!



You get route 2 between concord and lexington 

I want mass ave from the sqaure to my apartment 



And if we should meet through some misunderstanding 

I'll be very sweet very patient and forgiving 

(now get off my side of the state) 



And if we should see one another in passing 

Aespite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding 

(there must be some kind of mistake) 



We'll raise high our white flags and bow heads and shake hands 

Declaring the land we're on unamerican 

We'll call it even 



I am the tower around which you orbited 

I am not proud i am just taking orders 

I fall to the groud within hours of impact 

I hit back when hit 

and attack when attacked 



I am an accident waiting to happen 

I'm laughing like mad as you strangle the captain 

My place may be taken, but make no mistake 

From a little black box I can say without shame 

That you've lost 

Do you know what you've lost? 



So take whatever you'd like 

I'll strike like the States on fire 

You won't sleep very tight 

No hiding 

No safe covers 

Make your bed and now lie 

Just like you always do 

You can fake it for the papers but I'm on to you....





Amanda, You're telling me a fairy tale..
