| 作词 : Berman | |
| In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection | |
| Slowly screwing my way across Europe, they had to make a correction | |
| Broken and smoking where the infrared deer plunge in the digital snake | |
| I tell you, they make it so you can't shake hands when they make your hands shake | |
| I know you like to line dance | |
| Everything so democratic and cool | |
| But baby, there's no guidance when random rules | |
| I know that a lot of what I say has been lifted off of men's room walls | |
| Maybe I've crossed the wrong rivers and walked down all the wrong halls | |
| But nothing can change the fact that we used to share a bed | |
| And that's why it scared me so when you turned to me and said | |
| Yeah, you look like someone | |
| Yeah, you like someone who up and left me low | |
| Boy, you look like someone I used to know | |
| I know you like to line dance | |
| Everything so democratic and cool | |
| But baby, there's no guidance when random rules | |
| I asked a painter why the roads are colored black | |
| He said, "Steve, it's because people leave and no highway will bring them back" | |
| So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger | |
| But before I go, I gotta ask you, dear, about the tan line on your ring finger | |
| No one should have two lives | |
| Now you know my middle names are wrong and right | |
| Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight | |
| To give tonight | |
| To give tonight |
