Karaoké Random Rules Silver Jews

In nineteen eighty-four

I was hospitalized for approachin' perfection

Slowly screwin' my way across Europe

They had to make a correction

Broken and smokin' 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 look like someone who up and left me low

Boy you look like someone

I used to know

I know you like to line dance

With everything so democratic and cool

But baby there's no guidance when random rules

I asked the 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

Oh oh oh oh oh
