Can't choose your family
That's what they say
But I'm supposed to love them anyway
They're supposed to love me, but just not as much
I'm the blonde sheep, the total ***** up
It's been years since I picked up a needle or straw
But it's true I'm still human, and loaded with flaws
Sorry I can't hide my contempt as well as you
I'm sorry you ever had to learn how to
So let's get on with the ceremony Have your little parade
Might see you again
at the next family charade

A black widow waits
For a lumbering beetle
To deliver lunch

You do nothing but lie
While I do nothing but play
And we keep going around and round
wasting precious days

So you start being faithful
Hell, I'll be foolish too
And we can lie to the other's face
until we both turn blue

The one who says nothing
owns the room
It's silence that makes the loudest
boom

Sure we both know this is going nowhere
But does that mean we have to get there fast
Can't we both enjoy this nightmare
And do our best to make it last

The old maple tree
Clings to her dying offspring
Engulfed in their flames

To thee I do wed
at least that's what I said
you recycled those words back to me

How were we to know
at the time of that show
what good liars we turned
out to be
