Turning on the TV, everybody knows me
Everybody sees me, everybody stares
Then they cut to your face, handsome in your disgrace
Cameramen, they give chase, everybody cares

You said
We could
Runaway, we just need a distraction
You said
We might
Slip away with some cool misdirection tonight

I was too naïve and strung out
Too pent up to burn out
Too sucked in to tune out
Too worn out to cry
And I could not detect it
Even when our eyes met
We've all got our secrets
Everybody lies

You said
We could
Runaway, we just need a distraction
You said
We might
Slip away with some cool misdirection tonight

I wake up from my darkest dream
So shook up I wanna scream
I wish I could just wash your voice away
But I hear it everyday
Every night as I try to sleep
There's a vampire that comes to feed
And he smiles as he sucks and drains my veins
And that's fine with me

You said
We could
Runaway, we just need a distraction
You said
We might
Slip away with some cool misdirection
You said
We should
Treat our love as our one true possession
You said
We might
Slip away with some cool misdirection tonight
