lyrics

Maybe I'll take up smoking
paint my face like a clown uh-huh-huh-huh-huh
I'll be the clown who smokes ten or fifteen cigarettes at a time
just to get you off my mind
I'll devote my days to joking
whittle my ego down uh-huh-huh-huh-huh
into a little wooden toy that's really a powerful weapon in disguise
Oh this heartbreak makes me wise
dry your eyes I said
write some lines in your head
Oh this pain won't leave you so you might as well make some room
Oh this pain comes with you so give it some fun things to do
Thought that I could cut you out
like a cancerous mole uh-huh-huh-huh-huh
turns out your disease is spreading in me and it's here to stay
I ain't a surgeon anyway
Baby I'm a magician
I'm a god damn one man show uh-huh-huh-huh-huh
and I can transform this love into something else something new
Cuz I don't think I can be with you
I love you I love you so
what do i do I don't know
Oh this pain won't leave you so you might as well make some room
Oh this pain comes with you so give it some fun things to do
