Semiotics and Semantics

I wake up to bad news again same
Old stories same old trends
I see the world in sepia I’m underwater in the end
I’m drowning in the city rain It’s in all my songs anyway
My friends have all since boarded planes they’re all long gone but it’s okay
The biker and the beauty queen
The desert and the open sea
Mama pins your prom dress hems
Boys only love you when you try to fix them
Something wicked this way comes
Something wicked’s been here all along
We’re all cynics and romantics
It’s Semiotics and Semantics
Going down town makes me feel grownup
Like drinking champagne out of solo cups
But when the sun shines on china town it’s better, it’s more than enough
And it’s all part of getting colder I pull the car into the shoulder
Cause I know myself if I go fast I won’t be getting any older
The biker and the beauty queen
The desert and the open sea
Mama pins your prom dress hems
Boys only love you when you try to fix them
Something wicked this way comes
Something wicked’s been here all along
We’re all cynics and romantics
It’s Semiotics and Semantics
I feel more alone the more people I see
Aren’t we all just flesh and bones and stories
All just looking for air to breathe and
Blood to bleed
Maybe everyone’s as lonesome as me
The biker and the beauty queen
The desert and the open sea
Mama pins your prom dress hems
Boys only love you when you try to fix them
Something wicked this way comes
Something wicked’s been here all along
We’re all cynics and romantics
It’s Semiotics and Semantics
