Song Lyrics

Here's what happens, baby, when they put you under the lamp
And I don't believe in anybody since I heard the sound
Everything rings, everything moves the way it should
And I don't understand the things that I'm supposed to do
The postings on the page seem meaningless
"Well feed your neck to a bear if you don't need your head"
'Cause Patti told Hatti that a thing to do, yeah
"Find yourself a secret 'cause something's wrong with you"
Then you're covered in light

"No good, born to lose," that's what they said
"Reach out, close your eyes, and open your hand
Take a ticket, stick a cricket into your head
Better you take two and do it again
Quickly getting sicker but we know what to do
We'll tell you little lies and you'll tell us they're true
Keep the treatment secret 'cause they won't understand
Better you take two and do it again"

And you don't know what to believe in

There's nothing in your way when you become the sound
There's nothing left to say
And you don't know what to believe in
In the cover of the night

"No good, born to lose," that's what they said
"Reach out, close your eyes, and open your hand
Take a ticket, stick a cricket into your head
Better you take two and do it again
Quickly getting sicker but we know what to do
We'll tell you little lies and you'll tell us they're true
Keep the treatment secret cause they won't understand
Better you take two and do it again"

(Covered in light)
"No good, born to lose," that's what they said (covered in light)
"Reach out, close your eyes, and open your hand (covered in light)
Take a ticket, stick a cricket into your head (covered in light)
Better you take two and do it again (covered in light)
Quickly getting sicker but we know what to do (covered in light)
We'll tell you little lies and you'll tell us the truth (covered in light)
Keep the treatment secret 'cause they won't understand (covered in light)
Better you take two and do it again (covered in light)
Better you take two and do it again (covered in light)
Better you take two and do it again (covered in light)
Better you take two and do it again"
