Know yourself and nothing in excess
That’s what the oracle said
But all you want’s to drink into a stupor state
From now till we’re dead
Until we’re dead

What a funny pair we are
On two diverging pathways we tread
I agonize o’er every word
You say things off the top of your head
The top of your head

And when you say it doesn’t bother you
I know that that means nothing at all
And when you tell me that you’re doing fine
I know you’re really riding for a fall
Cuz with everything you say
You’re like a mockingbird who sings
Your lips, they move, the words, they sound
But it all means nothing
Cuz you don’t care, you don’t care
You don’t even care to tell me

You know that I’m the silent type
And you’re as chatty as can be
And nothing we could say or do could alter that
Just take it from me
Take it from me

Would that we could change our ways
As eas’ly as the morning breeze
But no matter how much they’d want to
The rocks can never turn into trees
Turn into trees

Cuz when you say it doesn’t bother you
I know that that means nothing at all
And when you tell me that you’re doing fine
I know you’re really riding for a fall
Cuz with everything you say
You’re like a mockingbird who sings
Your lips, they move, the words, they sound
But it all means nothing
Cuz you don’t care, you don’t care
You don’t even care to tell me

One thing you might tell me
Is there even any chance
That we could ever be
Or is it all about the dance?

Spinning circles ‘round the room
We go sashaying down the line
You have to let me know
If this is just a waste of time

Cuz when you say it doesn’t bother you
I know that that means nothing at all
And when you tell me that you’re doing fine
I know you’re really riding for a fall
Cuz with everything you say
You’re like a mockingbird who sings
Your lips, they move, the words, they sound
But it all means nothing
Cuz you don’t care, you don’t care
You don’t even care to tell me
