lyrics

Call up the limousine!
Make room I’ve people to meet
The kings of our world are putting on a show

I’ve poured my heart and soul
Into getting called into the fold
But now I’m here I’m only going with the flow

And I can’t help thinking
That I don’t belong here
But I still hope

I’m surely a contestant
For awards presented to the lonely hearts
That try to find a way into your heart
I’m surely a contestant
Open up the envelopes!
Will they mind my stupid face on screen?
Will the mind that my acceptance speech isn’t even written yet?

I’m just a simple man
I like beer and lava lamps
And rarely get what the movies are about
You trounce my intellect
And it’s pretty telling that
I thought of you before the verse is even out

And I can’t help dreaming
That I’ll be the one whose brains you’re fucking out tonight

I’m surely a contestant
For awards presented to the lonely hearts
That try to find a way into your heart
I’m surely a contestant
Open up the envelopes!
Will they mind my stupid face on screen?
Will the mind that my acceptance speech isn’t even written yet?

Got a feeling I know just what the outcome will show
But that don’t help at all, no
Everyone here around got their own thoughts and doubts
We all think that we’re right and will step into the light
If only for one night

I’m surely a contestant
For awards presented to the lonely hearts
That try to find a way into your heart
I’m surely a contestant
Burn the fucking envelopes!
Will they mind my stupid face on stage?
Will the mind that I have nothing to say
Except for this rejection speech

Oh, please, draw me close
And oh, please.make me yours
But hustle up, make it quick
My stomach’s turning and I’m feeling sick
And these lights are way too bright
And my bow tie is too tight
