Spare me the drone of your advice
Say, "Goodbye", baby can't you act your age?
I'll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it
You know why I'm going to give it to you straight
So don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think
Is it in that ugly place that's just behind your face
You know the measuring pole the merry boots of clay
Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief
Still it's all the rage
Although I'll never be unhappy as you want me to be
You know why I'm going to give it to you straight
You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief
Say, "Goodbye", baby can't you act your age?
Where you keep my picture still despite the fact
I've heard it all before you'll say it anyway
And don't try to read my mind because it's full of disappearing ink
Say, "Goodbye", baby can't you act your age?
The twitching impulses to speak your mind
Although I'll never be unhappy as you want me to be
Although I'll never be unhappy as you want me to be
That you had me replaced
Although I'll never be unhappy as you want me to be
I'll probably play along left to my own devices
Still it's all the rage
You know why I'm going to give it to you straight
Still it's all the rage
The sins of garter and gin confession may delay
