Put on your bad self
Get out your party dress
And fix up your makeup
Try to make a good impression
This is a new world
We're all the same here
Well, maybe not the same
But you know what I mean
I've got everything that you want
I've got everything
And someday I'll be president
And I've got everything that you want
I've got everything
And, honey, are you listening?
Hey, Eliza, now what do you want?
I play piano and I sing like a hummingbird
And oh I forgot that hummingbirds don't sing
It doesn't matter really
You know what I mean
Separate love from addiction
It's not the same
I know
I see desperation pulling my strings
Take out your hairpins
And lift up your party dress
And sit back and listen for the rush of suffering
Hey, Eliza, is this what you want?
Sometimes you compromise to get the things you need
I've got everything that you want
I've got everything
And it's a brand new world, Eliza
I've got everything that you want
I've got everything
Except the single thing you really need
Send away blood and rejection
They isolate
I know I see a generation staring back at me
Wasted away
Wasted my time
This picture you see
Is nothing like the one I want painted of me
Eliza says, "It's alright with me, if you're sure
It wouldn't be the first time
You know it's happened a couple of times before
And I don't even expect much anymore anyway
It's not as if I was waiting for you to come and make it all okay"
Yeah, but your family's gone, Eliza
So won’t you look into my eyes, Eliza?
Shut away to wean blood and rejection
They isolate
I know I see visions of people running over me, yeah
Wasted away
Wasted my time
This picture you see
Is nothing like the one I want painted of me
Put on your bad self
Get out your party dress
And fix up your makeup
Try to make a good impression
