With my name on the marquee
Say, “Welcome to Sorryville”
And I know the words that'll bring you back

There ought to be a bridge somewhere
And there I'd light a match
Now, it ain't easy bein' me
Yeah, I could be the star of the show

For freaks like me
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?

It'd be hard to miss
Wonderin' how I'm gonna get back

It wouldn't be on a map nowhere
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack
And you could watch me self-destruct
They could dedicate to me
Why do I do the things I do?

Twice a day I'd mash it down
Ought to be a side show act
I'd probably come to the ceremony

I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
Yeah, I could be the mayor down there

I need your love but I break your heart
Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool?
It ain't easy bein' me
It ain't easy bein' me
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
That says, "Danger, do not touch"
In a room with a big red button
With a can of gasoline
And walk on over to the other side
But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack

And I know the words that'll bring you back
Why do I do the things I do?
You might say it that it don't exist
I need your love but I break your heart
But if you make enough wrong turns

And sit and stare through the smoke and flames
