I don't rely on luck because
On that you can rely
So long as I sing with inflection
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
I wanna bust all your balloons
There is something amiss
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
On that you can rely
When I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
To the ground I've found
I ain't tellin' you no lie
On that you can rely
I am being insincere
The hook brings you back
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
I will go on all day hear what I say
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And then begin to see
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
In fact I don't mean any of this
Of catchy little tunes, of hip three minute ditties
Still my confession draws you near
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
So desperately I sing to thee of love
I will not mess around unless I play then hey
Familiar heroes from long ago
And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
I wanna burn all of your cities
And only then shall I abide this tide
I've tried well no in fact I lied
The hook brings you back
Some inner truth of vast reflection
That makes you feel that I'll convey
I have a prayer to pray that's really all this was
To confuse the issue I refer
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
The hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
It doesn't matter what I say
But I've said nothing so far
No matter how much peter loved her
Was that the hook brings you back
Suck it in suck it in suck it in
And it don't matter who you are

It's so PC it's killing me
What made the pan refuse to grow
Because the hook brings you back
To hide or slide
