Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the village, you're a star
Something's feeling different
I'll pretend I don't remember
What it's like when you're around
Why I asked you to get out
Of California and you did
[Chorus]
You're a thumbtack in my side
A dog bite, you distract
From what's worse, so I will let you
Keep a ball chain on my leg
Keep fucking with my head
'Cause it's not as bad as what I do to myself
[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the village at a bar
You lie about the business
To someone who won't remember
What it's like when you're around
Is why I asked you to get out
Of my apartment and you left
[Chorus]
You're a thumbtack in my side
A dog bite, you distract
From what's worse, so I will let you
Keep a ball chain on my leg
Keep fucking with my head
'Cause it's not as bad as what I do to myself
[Verse 3]
"Laura" by Bat For Lashes played on the comedown
When you get drunk, you get nice
So I will be your shadow
Take me to hell and then
Keep me out of my own mind
[Verse 4]
'Cause letting you in my head
Is easier than my obsession
You're not even a good friend
But I'll let you act like that's the problem
[Chorus]
A thumbtack in my side
A dog bite, you distract
From what's worse, so I will let you
Keep a ball chain on my leg
Keep fucking with my head
'Cause it's not as bad as what I do to myself
[Outro]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
