Statistics Like Cigarettes

We lost ourselves in these bright lights and cigarettes
We became our charade
A classic prime-time tragedy, so skin graphed
A romantically hopeless warpath
Statistically the cameras said
That lovers like us die, in car wrecks
Mathematically incorrect, you fuckers ain’t seen nothin' yet
And baby tonight we’ll be the robots in the spotlight
We lost ourselves in these bright lights and cigarettes
We became our charade
A classic prime-time tragedy, so skin graphed
A romantically hopeless warpath
Statistically the cameras set
And lovers like us die in car wrecks
A lack of evidence kept our names off the credits
Panegyrized masterminds, we directed this warped pantomime
And everything was just right, from your makeup to the lights
Park the car baby quiet on the set
Trigger fingers entwined… I knew this was our time
This was our time, the poison burns my insides but ask me if I mind
And baby tonight, we’ll be the robots in the spotlight
And we’ll break free of the programming
And the whole world will know of our love
