i prayed for love
i prayed for sadness
i prayed for you
and then i got
your madness instead
but that's ok with me
what you don't know
won't hurt you
til you figure it out
choking on the price you paid
seems you never see it coming
so i think that i'll come over
and talk about myself
then we'll go spin records
by our favorite rock stars
first we'll spin the records fast
then we'll spin them slow
to make them last
i think that i'll come over
and talk about myself
just like american movies
we talk about ourselves a lot
we can watch the world go by
and pretend that we're part of it
then we'll go spin records
by our favorite rock stars
