lyrics

Verse
Don’t know if I should fight
Smile or say goodbye
Leave the crowd in tears
Or should I leave them terrified
Artificially becoming weird
Soon I’ll be the guy that never shaves his beard
Can I mystify?
Pulling wool over your eyes

Pre chorus
Wanna manipulate the moments
Give them some attitude
To make them cry would be a bonus
Spit on their finger food

Chorus
Freaky baby I’m freaky
But you already know
Freaky baby I’m freaky
But you already know

Wanna be original
But only i get the jokes
I’m a two man show
taking punches for the hoax
Turned every stone to save my ass
Now I’ve made a bed upon this broken glass
We never had a clue
Just a bunch of bad reviews

Pre chorus
Wanna manipulate the moments
Give them some attitude
To make them cry would be a bonus
Get paid for being rude

Chorus
My cross combo
Long ago

Bridge
Man on the moon
I feel like you
Disconnected too
Cause we don’t think how they think
They float well we sink
We don’t mind if we don’t please
Man on the moon
I feel for you
If what you say is true
It isn’t true
