If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say, "Can we still be friends?"

If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not

All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But they bow down to him anyway
It's better than being alone

If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not

Now you're knocking at my door
Saying, "Please come out with us tonight"
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright

If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say, "Can we still be friends?"

If I was scared, I would
And if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now I'm ready to start

If I was scared, I would
And if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not
Now I'm ready to start
Now I'm ready to start

I would rather be wrong
Than live in the shadows of your sun
My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start
Now I'm ready to start
My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start
You're not sure you open the door and step out into the dark
Now I'm ready
