I'm With Stupid lyrics

Well, I guess you got your friend
Some friend to take me down
Was it getting on your nerves just knowing I'm around
It wasn't enough
It's never enough for you to merely be unkind
But turning the screws
Dear if I were you,
Might be a hobby not to mind

But I have got the truth on my side
And that's the one thing you can't abide
You couldn't make that scene if you tried

(I’m still working on the chords)

Put on some speed

*** introduction:

*** verse 1:
G am c2 (g)
There’ll be no payoff today
G am c2 (g)
I’m just refusing to pay
G am c2

I’m gonna stand here and say
D am
"c’mon, do your worst!"
D am
Of course they’ll never hear me
D c2 g

BACKFIRE

I've got some cookies from our junk food run

And here's a couple beers so

Let's go create some fun
Supplies are limited and I'm all out

Of any explanation

Of what I'm on about

I'm tired

Of having to try

To convince you if I

Go along with you it all will

Backfire

I know you had plans

Your intentions were grand

But it's out of my hands now

I'm distilling everything she said into a potion

But it's always going to my head in slow motion

oh nightmare girl

Things are getting weirder

At the speed of light

Nightmare girl

All this fever dreaming kills my appetite

For love and restless nights

Once she wanted me to exercise her self-possession

And then failing that she wanted lives and vivisection

Oh nightmare girl

(Five six seven fifty)

You fucked it up
You should've quit
Till circumstances
Had changed a bit

You fucked it up
You jumped the gun
I swore you off but
You climbed back on

And when you said
Of course you know
Could I be blamed
If I'd wished it so
I don't think so

-guitar solo-

You fucked it up
Or was it you
'Cause when you said it
I said it too
What of it

So he's retired
lives with his sister in a furnished flat
he's got this suit that
he'll never wear outside without a hat
his hair is white but he looks half his age
he looks like Jimmy Stewart in his younger days.
And honestly, I might be
stupid to think love is love
but I do
and you've waited so long and
I've waited long enough for you.

I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates
why keep a poor man alive in a job he hates
I've heard that good things will come to he who waits
I should be riding on a float in the hit parade
instead of sitting on the curb behind the barricade
another verse in the doormat serenade
Won't you put me on top
won't you put me on top, or change the odds

You looked the part of
The poor brave martyr
And guess who broke your heart
Whoever has it

Sugarcoated
When they wrote it
I would've believed it too
I would've believed it too
I would believe it

I'm so relentless
And you're defenseless
Until the pencil stops
You'll be the one who's

Sugarcoated
Overloaded
Do you believe it's true
Do you believe it's true
Do you believe it

Nothing was saving our day
there was nothing to say,
but you said something anyway
claiming I stepped out of line
which forced you to leave me,
as if that idea was mine.
Oh, you stupid thing
speaking of course as your dear departed
oh, you stupid thing
it wasn't me that you outsmarted
oh, you stupid thing
stopping it all

(one two)

In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye
No guts to sever so forever may we wave goodbye
And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move
When I wonder what could make the needle jump the groove
I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook
By saying there is no use changing 'cause

That's just what you are

(one two three once again go)

There is nothing that competes with habit
And I know it's neither deep nor tragic
It's simply that you have to have it

So you can make a killing
Oh you can make a killing
Oh you can make a killing

I wish I was both young and stupid
Then I too could have the fun that you did
Till it was time to pony up what you bid

So you could make a killing

I don't know how to break the news, but
It's pretty clear you'll be asked to choose between
What you lack and what you excuse in this
Tug of war

You can't say that they didn't warn you
Though you'd rather that they just ignore you
'Cause your devices are not working for you
Anymore

What you want
You don't know
You're with stupid now

You don't know how to manufacture

Though I let you steer
You a cavalier
Inch became a lightyear
It was pathetic
Oh you can write the play
And every word I say
But I don't have to stay
To see the credits

'Cause it's all over now
Yes it's all over now
And I'm free

I was one of few
Who'd stick up for you
And so you never knew
You were a punch line
I could not convince or trust you

I'm told the case is now closed So I can come to my senses But when the
question is posed I'll have this meager defense

I was hoping that you'd know better than that I was hoping but you're an
amateur I was hoping that you'd know better But I've been wrong before
Despite conclusions I drew There was a chance you'd surprise me And you'd be
better than you 'Cause I'd have left otherwise

(And if this is one of your ten thousand dollar hours
Don't forget to write it down
Help is on the way)

Skip the cloak and dagger bit
Don't you know we're sick of it
As much as I would like to stay
The message light just blinks away
And while I'm here you won't push play

So you leave me no choice in the matter
You leave me no choice in the matter

Fifty years after the fair
the picture I have is so clear
underneath the clouds in the air
rose the Tyrlon and the Perisphere
and that for me was the finest of scenes
that perfect world across the river in Queens
Fifty years after the fair
I drink from a different cup
but it does no good to compare
'cause nothing ever measures up
I guess just for a second we thought

We made it down to New York
with everything intact
but as for getting back -
it was Boo who made the joke,
they don't give you any hope
but they'll give you plenty of rope
And Dan came in from Jersey
he went to get the drums
and if Buddy ever comes
we can get it off the ground
I hope someone's coming down
'else I can't see hanging around
Oh, experience is cheap
