Honey, Don't It All Seem So Phony


My twin teleprompters humming in the night

Trying to send a signal I should lose this fight

But I never took a fall and you’re probably right

This bout will yield nothing but losers



I saw you breaking down in a magazine

And I never told a soul what it meant to me

Now I’m on a mission fueled by LSD

Trying to break these patterns



© But I assure you

With a Capital A

We’re just players in a fake play

Honey, don’t it all seem some phony? ©



Ladies & gentlemen, may I introduce

Some darker side of me that’s gotten loose

He’s making the rounds, yeah it’s probably true

They say he looks exactly like me



While you’re back home making real life moves

I’m in a motel outside a Baton Rouge

Handing these pages to some local girl

“honey won't you read my manifesto?”

I been running a marathon

It’s me vs. the hanger ons

We keep singing the same song

In the wrong key

I’m not here to deliberate

I’m not here to associate

I’m only trying to escape my fate

Though it’s not polite

But It could happen tonight


I’m gonna build a world that won’t fall apart

Does anybody wanna come with me?
