Lyrics

[00:20.87] Oh, the periphery
[00:25.45] They throw good parties there
[00:29.81] Those peripheral idiots
[00:34.79] Always have a bite to bare
[00:40.23] Bear it if you can
[00:43.84] If you really want to
[00:48.34] Go to the periphery
[00:52.41] Have them celebrate your name
[00:56.79] Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be
[01:01.26] Left to run the races lame
[01:06.70] But if you want
[01:10.33] If you think it's worth it
[01:15.54] Go now, with me
[01:19.60] 'Cause I don't appreciate
[01:23.83] People who
[01:29.02] Don't appreciate
[01:32.18] All that loving must've been lacking something
[01:35.94] If I got bored trying to figure you out
[01:40.46] You let me down
[01:43.33] I don't even like you anymore at all
[01:54.04] Oh, the periphery
[01:59.09] I lost another one there
[02:03.24] He found a prettier girl than me
[02:07.85] With a more even-tempered air
[02:13.36] And if he wants her, he should get her
[02:16.87] 'Cause I think he thinks she's worth it
[02:20.85] And maybe they'll move from the periphery
[02:25.49] By themselves, or on a plot of land
[02:30.12] And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be
[02:34.76] Hoping he makes a good family man
[02:39.74] And if he finds himself yearning
[02:43.74] For his throne on the silly side
[02:47.61] Nothing wrong as long as he's learning
[02:51.54] Besides, you can take it up with his brethren
[02:56.16] Or with his bride, just not with me
[03:03.89] 'Cause I don't appreciate
[03:08.15] People who
[03:13.13] Don't appreciate
[03:16.06] All that loving must've been lacking something
[03:20.74] If I got bored trying to figure you out
[03:23.97] You let me down
[03:26.93] I don't even like you anymore at all
[03:29.23] All that loving must've been lacking something
[03:32.86] If I got bored trying to figure you out
[03:36.65] You let me down
[03:39.67] I don't even like you anymore at all
[03:50.37] Oh, the periphery
[03:54.73] Oh, the periphery
[03:59.35] Oh, the periphery
[04:04.27] Oh, the periphery
[04:07.83] Stay away
[04:11.40] Stay away
[04:15.18] Away, away
[04:28.35] Stay away, away
