Once I saw the galaxies in your Jack and Coke eyes In the sacrificial temple, where your monster always dies, Once I wrote a gospel out of every word you say, And now you're on the front page of "The USA today", Cutting to the front of the line, I find my mind Is no place to raise a family, And I was looking all over for you, baby, You were always right in front of me, And tonight I'm declaring your love to be a waste of time and money Once you raised alpacas with your pet Komodo dragon, While I was eating cardboard in my father's station wagon, Once I sold everything I owned to buy you a diamond ring, And now you're over at CNN sitting down with Larry King, After 5 bottles of wine my friends opine, that I should consider therapy, But they've clearly never been with you, baby, They don't know about the things that you've done to me, And tonight I am declaring my life is a joke not any funny All publicity is good publicity, When you sell your conscience in this city, Thick skin needs high elasticity, Shock your system with electricity All publicity is good publicity, (Take us back to where we started) When you sell your conscience in this city, (Poppy seeds can never be parted) Thick skin needs high elasticity, (Flowers for the broken-hearted) Shock your system with electricity (Take us back to where we started) All publicity is good publicity, (Poppy seeds can never be parted) When you sell your conscience in this city (Take us back to where we started)
