lyrics

My song said I should "slow down", so I drove to my hometown.
I think I took it the wrong way. Now we'll never be the same.
The wrong side of the road now. A blank stare in the sundown.
I think I took it the wrong way. Now we'll never be the same.

Gold mannequin, a gold mannequin.

JP:
There she was. Still madness. Perfect proportion. Sweet sadness.
Drunken princess, please tell me your story.
Stay beautiful. You could never bore me. A savior.
Powder. Some day i'll learn to live without her
Until then I'll just stay in my dressing room
pretending that I'm still asleep next to you,
like you'd expect me to.
Hold on, before we say so long...
I need to see your face change before i can let you go.

I need to see your face change.
Still fighting off demons.
Still feeding off your feelings
I need to see your hands raised.
Still workin for the weekend.
Still searchin for the meaning.

Reason is unknown, we dismiss it.
Redeliver it for the sake of clarity.
Defeat the enemy. Slept in my backyard
I drove a fast car, but that was last March.
Still, I can't explain, as good as Louis Sachar, the reason for all of these holes.
I swear the answer has always been right under my nose.

Gold Mannequin.
