Selfish

When we’re chasing the dragon
And you run out of gas
When you fall off the wagon
And you grow a moustache

When we’re back to the future
But you’re stuck in the past
When you’re closing the windows
In your house made of glass

When we’re knee deep in sorrow
And the loudness is large
When we wake up tomorrow
Will you still be in charge?

Is your heart on a bender?
Is your mind on the brink?
Won’t you tell me you’re angry?
Won’t you say what you think?

Is there something you want me to say?
Well I’m not smart enough
To figure it out on my own
We’re selfish in all the same ways
And maybe that’s the reason
We’re not alone

If we’re on a vacation
And get captured by spies
You would beg them for mercy
And reveal my disguise

You would leave me there dying
And what’s even worse
It’d be you in the gulag
If I sold you out first

Is there something you want me to say?
Well I’m not smart enough
To figure it out on my own
We’re selfish in all the same ways
And maybe that’s the reason
We’re not alone — I said maybe
That’s the reason we’re not alone

Flying saucers are landing
And the skies have turned red
I’m still not understanding
What goes on in your head

Is there something you want me to say?
Well I’m not smart enough
To figure it out on my own
We’re selfish in all the same ways
And maybe that’s the reason
We’re not alone

If we’re playing Ms. Pac Man
And I beat your high score
You would take my controller
Throw it down on the floor

If I made a gold record
You would say it’s my worst
But it would be no different
If the roles were reversed

Is there something you want me to say?
Well I’m not smart enough
To figure it out on my own
We’re selfish in all the same ways
And maybe that’s the reason
We’re not alone — I said maybe
That’s the reason we’re not alone

I said maybe, baby, maybe, baby
We’re not alone…
(ooh la la, la la, ooh la la, la la…)
