Working Titles

You could mess up my life in a poem
Have me divorced by the time of the chorus
Theres no need to change any sentence
When you always decide where I go next
Many nights you would hide from the audience
When they were not in tune with your progress
In the end youre a fool like the journalist
Who turns what you sing into business
You could use to be more like a hero
A darker shade of damage distortion
Wearing death like a cape or a costume
Cut your ties and leave town when you want to
Killing time til I pass through the chamber
Or the room you keep my replacement
So fed up still youre starving on paper
Youre no him but hes you only better
Leave me an exit to damage
I could use a ledge to jump off of
I wasnt lying when I said this was over
I have questions that lead to more questions
Running time that will cut off my fingers
You wrote about me on every new record
And Ill show up in a title of your song
I only hope somebody requests it
Whats it like for you in Washington
Ive only seen photos of Washington
Ill never know
Leave me Manhattan I want the evergreens
Write me a song I can sing in my sleep
As sure as the rain that will fall where you stand
I want you and the skyline these are my demands
Whats it like for you in Washington
Ive only seen photos of Washington
Ill never know know
