lyrics

You can carry a flame but never burn
You can roll how you like but never perm
What's the deal with that?
We can see the facade but not the cracks and
It drives me nuts
It makes me what
The fiber count of the fabric you're cut
Must be like a hundred-thousand-million-billion-trillion-frillion

(chorus)
Didn't crack when you
Fell down from Heaven
Straight to Earth
Or your so down we're fooled
Tell us what beige magic
Makes that kind of glue

Okay we get it there's no wrong you can do
With all the cream there must butter there too
What a face what a body every single proportion
But a mind? But a soul? Is it all just distortion
The kind of buzz that sounds great in a mix
But when is solo'd from its studio tricks
Sounds just like the fudge-ups of this
all thumbs orchestra I'm leading

(chorus)

So at last here we are eye to eye
And what I said to you might have been a bit out of line
You're not so great and it is a little bit funny
Because I'm not so great and I was like I was 20/20
And all the logs I had jamming my eyes
Astigmatised me to you because you looked kind of nice
Now what they say about assuming is totally pertinent
Isn't it?

Didn't crack when I
Fell down from Heaven
Straight to Earth
I shattered these glass eyes
So forgive me if I don't see things quite right
