The businessmen are drinking my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
And 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
Because 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 are drinking my blood

Like the kids at 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 song
My mind is open wide
And now I´m ready to start

And now I´m ready to start
My mind is open wide
And now I´m ready to start
Not sure you´ll open the door
To step out into the dark
Now I´m ready
