You're a failure if you breathe
Or take your finger from the pulse
In the city of sex and debt
What is real is what is false
Visions of personal success
And shallow conversations
Your name as your currency
Your love as decoration
I see you as you are (because I want to)
They see you as you want (because they need to)
I see you as you are (because I want to)
I see you as you are (because I want to)
They see you as you want (because they need to)
We are just holograms on stage
And when you look around (you might lose your way)
Isn't it funny how (painting a new face)
We're all the same
In love and falling down (I might float away)
Got one foot on the ground (one foot on the ground)
The other in the grave
I see you as you are (because I want to)
They see you as you want (because they need to)
I see you as you are (because I want to)
I see you as you are (because I want to)
They see you as you want (because they need to)
We are just holograms on stage
In the city of sex and debt your name as your currency
In the city of sex and debt your love as your decoration
In the city of sex and debt your name as your currency
In the city of sex and debt your love as your decoration
In the city of sex and debt your name as your currency (I see you watching, I see you watching your friends)
In the city of sex and debt your love as your decoration (I see you watching, I see you watching your friends)
In the city of sex and debt your name as your currency (I see you watching, I see you watching your friends)
In the city of sex and debt your love as your decoration (I see you watching, I see you watching your friends)
Currency, decoration, currency, decoration
(Currency, decoration, currency, decoration)
In the city of sex and debt your name as your currency
(Currency, decoration, currency, decoration)
In the city of sex and debt your love as your stage, stage
