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 humming bird, and Oh, I forgot that humming birds 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 is 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
