The Biggest Idiot In The World
You wouldn't run to me
if i called
we spent so many years
pretending not to know
each other at all
we shared our cynicism and our
black-hole loneliness
you would lie to me
on the telephone,
and with your arm
around my shoulder
just for fun
I'd be cruel to you
I'd stand you up or stare you down
just to prove how little i cared
i had to prove that i was not
the biggest idiot in the world
i was not
the biggest idiot in the world
we joined our empty beds.
drink and drove our demons out
of their heavy shells danced to
decadence
in honor of those who hated us
but in the morning when i woke
i felt a faint glimmer of hope
and i cared
i felt just like
the biggest idiot in the world
i was like
the biggest idiot in the world
i hated me, i hated you
and all the stupid things we do
to feel smart when we are
a pair of
the biggest idiots in the world
