Lyrics

I feel the dread of days descend
I feel the need to take back all of my amends
I awoke too late From my corporate state
And I heard the truth they told
Jesus loves you dear But the devil owns your soul

Get closer to the door
But don?t look outside
You?re missing your parade
Agoraphobia - stay inside where it?s safe

I smell my dying nihilist
So far my life has been a Suck up to The Man
So don?t stain yourself Over blood and sweat
That you had to squeeze from me
So the few can live The life that so few lead

I?m closer than I thought
To that settled age
When I say ?Those were the days?
Agoraphobia - why do I live this way?
Why do I live this way?

Was I just asleep
The years I thought I?d wake
And still just be beginning
At where I still believed in all I could do?

You used to flaunt a young death wish
You used to be so hot in Dashboard decadence
Now your lack of sex don?t disguise the fact
That you used to be a whore
Don?t you miss it now? Well your kids will never know.

Get closer to the door
But don?t look outside
You?re missing your parade
Agoraphobia - stay inside where it?s safe

We?re closer than we thought
To that settled age
When we say ?Those were the days?
Agoraphobia - why do we live this way?
Why do we live this way?
Stay inside where it?s safe.
