You can't love yourself
In a cheap motel,
It gets hard to tell

What you are, you are

With the lights down low

You're just flesh and bone,
No one wants to know
What you are, you are


So tell the most beautiful lies


And go do it nice and slow
You don't want to blow anything
You know we all love the show,

Do it like you don't feel a thing
Feel nothing


And as you connect
Like some strange insect,
You know they're not wet

But you are, you are

Leave the TV on

Watch the same re-run
They swear nothing's wrong
But you are, you are


You're acting like you were born yesterday,
You're kissing like you're coming true

You're hearing everything they never say,
You're talking like they're getting through
You're sure that soon there will be hell to pay

But don't you let that spoil the mood
You know that there are more than shades of gray,
You grab on till they're black and blue
