Everybody's lookin' for somebody
Everybody's lookin' for someone
I go out dancing every moonlit night
Just like I can't stand being alone
Everybody's lookin' for somebody
Everybody's lookin' for the truth
I figured I'd tell ya before I fall out on the floor
that it's just like being alone when I'm with you
Honestly I've tried to see things from a different point of view
But it seems to me that some things ain't meant to be seen
the whole way through
Cause you let me in so easy
Build me a pallet on your floor
You let me in so easy
Keep me coming back for more.
Everybody's looking for an answer
I found mine in the back of the book
Is that a glance or an invitation?
Seems like it might be worth a look.
Honestly I've tried to see things from a different point of view
But it seems to me that some things ain't meant to be seen
the whole way through
Cause you let me in so easy
Build me a pallet on your floor
You let me in so easy
Keep me coming back for more.
Everybody's looking for somebody
Everybody's looking for someone.

Thin Air

Whatcha gonna say, whatcha gonna do to me now
I got nothing left, I got nothing but a smile
Just one drink then I'm gonna throw it in the sink
Gonna do to it, do to it just what you did to me
Now you're walking on thin air
feeling like a day old prayer
told myself I wouldn't care
told myself I wouldn't care
Walking on thin air
Feeling like a day old prayer
told myself I wouldn't care
told myself I wouldn't care
You got the blue in your eyes
the kind of blue you can't disguise
and I'm gonna find you out find you out
Find you out tonight
On the street, light, with a busted shoe
You'll be walking on thin air
feeling like a day old prayer
told myself I wouldn't care
told myself I wouldn't care
Walking on thin air
Feeling like a day old prayer
told myself I wouldn't care
told myself I wouldn't care
So whatcha gonna say, whatcha gonna do to me now
I don't even remember the name of the place you thought it out
Just one drink then I'm gonna throw it in the sink
I can't think too much
I think too much
I'm thinking I will be
Walking on thin air
feeling like a day old prayer
told myself I wouldn't care
told myself I wouldn't care
Walking on thin air
Feeling like a day old prayer
told myself I wouldn't care
told myself I wouldn't care

Stumbling and bumbling like your mother after racquetball
I assure you that tonight will be fine
and if the rooster crows before we make it up there to the bedroom
then I'll jump off the nearest highrise
So what's the use in crying over spilled milk in the diner
when you didn't order any, anyway?
And where's this taxi going and who's the one to pay this guy
his lazy eye has turned the other way
And we'll set this place on fire with kerosene and zippos
and we'll laugh about it from the papers in the morning
We'll throw rocks through all the windows of every bar in this town
and nobody will receive an early warning
And by the blood bank and the mini mall and the farmers-only market
we will cruise until we reach the world's edge
and when you're fucked up and jealous and the words get over-zealous
then surely my devotion I'll pledge
and who are the baristas at the cafes where we dine
and who will stock our shelves when all the librarians die?
and your ringtones are all pop songs and you go buy a new one
it's so blah I couldn't name it if I tried.
And we'll pledge our allegiance to the kitchen sink
and we'll henceforth say grace without a name
and when your body finally tires, seeks the fetal, perspires
I will not love you anyway
I will not love you at all
