lyrics

No one around to say that I know better
Got bags in my pockets like pocket protectors
I guess you could say that I’m dressed for the weather
Hit all of the parties I want to

Inside I am happy, at peace, I’ve transcended
I’m loved and I love, never need to pretend
But I’ve still got time to be sad for my publicist
Ashes to ashes and exes to exes

I make pretty things of our dirty old habits
Drink coffee at galleries, speak with an accent
Cult personality, 24/7
Celebrity preacher I open the heavens

But I’m begging you, please don’t go
I’m begging you please don't go
I’m begging you please don't go
I’m begging you please don't go

And I won't join the club when I turn 27
Thought 54’s better, gives me more time for heroin
But I won’t get addicted, just experimenting
Just helping along all the books that I’ve written

And I’m never late, I am great, I am worldly
Get high every day, up there nothing can hurt me
Just fuck for the sake of it
Sex, I am frivolous
Living each day to the end, to the edges

But I’m begging you please don't go
I’m begging you please don't go
I’m begging you please don't go
I’m begging you please don't go

I’m on somebody’s pedestal
Somebody’s tyrant
One of those ghosts on the block

I’m out haunting the alleys
Brushing past strangers
Teaching myself how to be good for nothing

I’m kicking and screaming
Waking the neighbours
Widest of smiles in the room
Think I need you more than I’d admit to

In my dreams I am set, I’m not ashamed, I am shameless
One cool mother fucker like nobody’s business
And you can't get upset, I am free, I am spirited
But nothing could cover you, I’d notice you missing
I’d wake up without you, cold unfulfilled
I was miserable then, I am miserable still
I always needed you, I always will
More fucked up on love than on all of the pills

But I’m begging you, please don’t go
I’m begging you please don't go
I’m begging you please don't go
I’m begging you please don't go
