Lyrics

Boredom Kills

Do you still remember me?
I'm the one who's on the inside looking out at you.
I sing those morning-after-blues.

Welcome to the party, Angel.
Glad to hear you're feeling good and doing so well.
You know I really couldn't tell, just from looking.

Oh, Party Dogs and Aimless Vixens,
Whose only common bond is fixing to relieve their minds
From the boredom in their lives.

Why do all these young men want you?
Self-destruction hangs around you like a poison cloud,
And you never say out loud what you're thinking.

So tonight you're gonna fill the cup until it spills.
'Cause your blind ambition's left some space you need to fill.
I hope that you'll remember me and the way that boredom kills,
Your heart, my heart, don't lose your heart.

Midnight's rolled around again,
And you've become a burning object of desire,
Careening through the night.

You say "Everybody loves a lover",
So how's it feel to be another what's-her-name?
Now tell me once again...how you feel right now,
How you're really feeling.
