lyrics

I'm always looking for something
but I can’t tell if it's real
I'm playing dead to imagine your reaction
and exactly how you deal

I'm always looking for something
but I can’t tell if it's real
I'm playing dead to imagine your reaction
and exactly how you deal

light a candle!
wash off the lipstick
it's my instinct
time is tragedy
tip your waitress and thank who made this
tip your waitress and thank who made this

call my friends and my family
while I'm asleep and tell them what went wrong
pick out the pallbearers, the grave robbers
and show them how it's done

I'm always looking for something
but I can’t tell if it's real
I'm playing dead to imagine your reaction
and exactly how you deal

I'm always looking for something
but I can’t tell if it's real
I'm playing dead to imagine your reaction

and exactly how you…. deal

I’m always looking for something (always looking for something)
I’m always looking for something (always looking for something)
I’m always looking for something (always looking for something)
I’m always looking for something

I'm always looking for something
but I can’t tell if it's real
I'm playing dead to imagine your reaction
and exactly how you deal

I'm always looking for something
but I can’t tell if it's real
I'm playing dead to imagine your reaction
and exactly how you deal
