Spreading, it's headed here like lightning Screaming like elevated trains Does this word sound like the death bird calling? Out your name at midnight, once again, it tries at 12:15 Every dirty trick, every second lost Every crucifix, every albatross Every bridge I burn, every path I cross Every chance I get, I find myself lost Everywhere I look, everyone's insane Give me a good book and some Novocaine Everyone I know is now dead and gone I'm all that's left, oblivion Leaving this freezing Land of Lincoln Seeking my place out in the Sun Has this world stopped asking what it's thinking? Did it stop thinking of you, and when do you suppose it turned its back on me? Every dirty trick, every second lost Every crucifix, every albatross Every bridge I burn, every path I cross Every chance I get, I find myself lost Everywhere I look, everyone's insane Give me a good book and some Novocaine Everyone I know is now dead and gone I'm all that's left, oblivion O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N A method of modern O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N A method of modern O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N A method of modern O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N A method of modern Every dirty trick, every second lost Every crucifix, every albatross Every bridge I burn, every path I cross Every chance I get, I find myself lost Everywhere I look, everyone's insane Give me a good book and some Novocaine Everyone I know is now dead and gone I'm all that's left, oblivion Oblivion Oblivion
