Three A.M. on a Saturday  
Toes touching on the couch as I sigh and say  
“I’ve accepted my fate with you”  
You smiled and you knew  
That was your cue

Dinner with our feet up  
Making love with just our socks on  
And realizing that I missed ya  
But if you called it tomorrow  
I wouldn’t blame ya

Jesse, come home, there’s a hole in the bed  
Where we slept, now it’s growing cold  
Jesse, your face, in the place where we lay  
By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart

Jesse is a friend  
Yeah, I know he’s been a good friend of mine  
But lately something’s changed  
That ain’t hard to define  
Jesse’s got himself a girl  
And I wanna make her mine

Oh, you’re the best friend that I ever had  
Been with you such a long time  
You’re my sunshine  
And I want you to know  
That my feelings are true  
I really love you  
(Ooh) Oh, you’re my best friend

If I were a rich man with a million or two  
I’d live in a penthouse in a room with a view  
(And if I were handsome) No way (It could happen)  
(These dreams do come true)  
(I wouldn’t have nothing if I didn’t have you)

I wish I was invisible  
Intelligent or pretty  
But I’m none of the above  
No, I’m none of the above

</div>

You’re not invisible now  
You just don’t exist  
Your mother must be so proud  
You sublimate yourself, granting us a wish

Primitive mirror on the wall  
To fortify your grim resolve  
Amid the glitz of a shopping mall  
Another grain of indigent salt for the sea

Good night to these wretched forms  
All them gray eyes on the subway  
So long before you were born  
You were always to be a dagger floating  
Straight to their heart

Well, I’ve been searching, searching for so long  
While thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong  
And now I know  
She has a built-in ability  
To take everything she needs  
And now it seems I’m falling, falling for her

She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah  
She reaches in and grabs right hold of your heart  
She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah  
It takes control, and slowly tears you apart

</div>

When you don’t hear a word I say  
As the talking goes, it’s a one-way flow  
No fault, no blame  
Has the memory gone? Are you feeling numb?  
And have I become invisible?

Well I laid out in the afternoon I start to nappin’  
You walk into the room with them jaws a-flappin’  
You keep that motormouth moving morning, noon and night  
You keep on talking, baby, make my hair turn white

You talk too much  
I can’t believe the things that you say everyday  
If you keep on talking, baby  
You know you’re bound just to drive me away

Say up in Harlem at a table for two  
There were four of us, me, your big feet and you  
From your ankles up, I’d say you sure are sweet  
From there down there’s just too much feet

Yes, your feet’s too big  
Don’t want you 'cause your feet’s too big  
Can’t use you 'cause your feet’s too big  
I really hate you 'cause your feet’s too big

There’s a big dilemma

Oh, don’t you feel my leg, don’t you feel my leg

No! What?! How can this be?!  
I’ve never tried acid, shrooms, or DMT!  
It’s a bad trip! _Oy, gevalt!_  
Of course, Blitz, this would be your fault!

My lungs are filled with honesty  
Will you promise me that you won’t judge?  
(Yes, bitch)  
Not trying to divulge too much  
But I’m in too deep, so first of all  
FUCK YOU!  
(What?!)  
This is just typical!  
Well, two can play at this game of dismay  
Cuz if you’re here causing frustration  
I’m torturing you in _your_ hallucination!

Oh, honey  
It’s been such a long, long time  
Looks like I’d get you off of my mind  
But I can’t, just the thought of you (just the thought of you)  
My love, my whole world turns misty blue (misty blue)
