Square One

Jay Brannan

2

Does anybody here have a soul?

Put the thermostat on overdrive, the air is bitter cold

Everywhere I look is nip and tuck

And every song they play in here is, vapid as fuck

I don't wanna hear about the weekend

I don't wanna hear about your car or what you're drinking

Don't know what to make of all of this

The same people claiming "it get's better"

Treat everyone like shit

Everyone sings about leaving, breaking off

But where the hell do they run?

Here we were receiving. giving, making love

'Til some, something came undone,

Sticking me back at square one

Pigs and asses used to live on farms

Friendly skies weren't always overrun

By airborne infants and arms

Life's a beach and should you swim astray

You'll fade to gray, some cast away

There's no lifeguard service today

Falling for the foolish can be tough

But everything is possible,

When you hate yourself enough

Not my proudest moment, but the one I got

It's a little painful, being so much,

Less cool then you buy a lot

Everyone sings about leaving, breaking off

But where the hell do they run?

Here we were receiving. giving, making love

'Til some, something came undone,

Sticking me back at square one

I just met you yesterday and I'm

Already imagining the break up

Is enough to keep me charging toward the shake up

You're fucking out of my league,

When will I learn it,

Could sell the devil my soul,

and he'd return it

Everyone sings about leaving, breaking off

But where the hell do they run?

Here we were receiving. giving, making love

'Til some, something came undone,

Sticking me back at square one
