Time to say goodbye
To all of the pretty lies
The music that you could not face
Iron your tie
Meeting starts at five
What were you thinking

Bring me down, tear me up
Shut me down my sacred love
Fool my heart, it's not enough
Wait till I return to dust
Leave my life to lady luck
Actresses all caked in blush
Ask a friend, learn what you want
Shut me down my sacred love

In the end we can always pretend
And you try but never understand
Cake that you eat but didn't earn instead

Bring me down, tear me up
Shut me down my sacred love
Fool my heart, it's not enough
Wait till I return to dust
Leave my life to lady luck
Actresses all caked in blush
Ask your friends, learn what you want
Shut me down my sacred love

Bring me down, tear me up
Shut me down my sacred love
Fool my heart, it's not enough
Wait till I return to dust
Leave my life to lady luck
Actresses all caked in blush
Ask your friend, learn what you want
Shut me down, oh shut me down
