lyrics

i've got a rope tied around my arm
i've got a hankie soaked in chloroform
i was alive before you came
i'd rather die than ever be the same
i've got homeless in my knee
if you can take them out, you'll get in free
i was alive when you were away
i'd rather die than be this way

hey ya, sailor moon
with your cuban cigars & your libman broom
oh, i'm so lame
but the ceiling flakes

i spent the last of all my change
money can't buy a better vocal range
i had to sleep to stay awake
& now i'm dreaming of a better way
she had a hiptop in her hand
& the mission never went as planned
i was alive when you were away
i'd rather die than be this way

hey ya, parliament
i was chained to the fence, i couldn't pay the rent
oh, i'm so lame
but the ceiling flakes

i know i took more than i gave
& i've got one cool minute before i cave
i had to sleep to stay awake
& now i'm dreaming of a better way
i've got a rope tied around my arm
i've got a hankie soaked in chloroform
i was alive before you came
i'd rather die
