Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And you're primitive
And you're cynical to me
And I chewed down on the bit
And almost swallowed it
[PreChorus]
You sit all alone with your color TV
Your hair starts to glisten in spite of the fleas
We don't have to stay friends
Let's pretend to be enemies
[Chorus]
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes it beautiful
Yeah, whatever leaves you satisfied
'Cause I'm out of time for now
[Instrumental]
And you're paranoid
As you look me up and down
And I'm soaked in gasoline
Mud and ice cream
[PreChorus]
You sit by the phone with your tongue hanging out
You cradle the flies in the back of your mouth
We don't have to stay friends
Let's pretend to be enemies
[Chorus]
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes it beautiful
Yeah, whatever leaves you satisfied
'Cause I'm out of time
[Bridge]
Damned if you do
Fucked if you don't
Damned if you do
What if you won't?
Damned if you do
Fucked if you don't
Damned if you do
What—
You must be aware what you're doing to me
We sunk like a stone on a rock in the sea
We don't have to stay friends (Not for very long)
We don't have to stay friends (Just because you're gone)
[Outro]
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes it beautiful
Yeah, whatever leaves you satisfied
You get what you want 'cause you won't let it die
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever leaves you insecure
Yeah, whatever seems to break you down
'Cause I'm out of time
But I'm feelin' fine
