Can I tell you something sad and sordid
I'm a human being and I know it
Every time I catch my cold reaction
I have to be careful not to show it
Do you ever scream and break the silence
Like an adolescent prone to violence
Lashing out in a suburban vacuum
Read about it in the Post and Tribune
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
A fraction of the feeling
And I wanna run
And I wanna hide
And I wanna waste the day inside
I can chew gum and walk at the same time
Into an unsuspecting hazardous waste sign
Like a drunken pilot snoring softly
These mistakes they tend to be so costly
I'll tell you something that I know for certain
All I know is that I don't know nothin'
???
Slide in close and let me tell you something
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
A fraction of the feeling
And I wanna run
And I wanna hide
And I wanna waste the day inside
And I wanna run
And I wanna hide
And I wanna waste the day inside
Runnin' down
Runnin' down
Runnin' down
Runnin' down
Runnin' down
Take a background of my thought crime
And a long exposure
And a body out for blood
Of some crimson martyr
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
Subtle expression is a fraction of the feeling
A fraction of the feeling
And I wanna run
And I wanna hide
And I wanna waste the day inside
And I wanna run
And I wanna hide
And I wanna waste the day inside
