Smacked down and twistednTorn up and left for deadnWe're all a little crazy, a little devastatednSurprised by the turn of events tonightnBut don't run for shelternA song in hand is enough shelter for menSo write your ballads and all your sappy love songsnWe'll turn around and take the long way homenAnd when you sleep at night, remember times when we always came to a sad Unhappy ending and everyone offending younI'll take my big dreams and bring them home with me because nothing that you Say affects what i donAnd when i wake up, you'll have the rest of menBut not before i get the best of younRun, don't walk, follow the signsnA word of advice from the master of disguisenIt's everything you wanted, it's everything you're gettingnSo pass around the heartache, make sure we all get plentynAnd if the day goes by as planned, we'll Start up the fire on a cold november nightnIt looks like everyone has gone inside due to a chance of rainnI'll be waiting by the phone enjoying Vacant dial tonesnAnd singing songs with empty words about the way i'll get the best of you
