It  doesn't matter  what I say
So  long as I  sing with inflection
That  makes you feel  that I'll convey
Some  inner truth  of vast reflection
But  I've said nothing  so far
And  I can keep it  up as long  as it takes
And  it don't matter  who you are
If  I'm doing  my job then it's  your resolve that breaks
 Because the hook brings  you back
I  ain't tellin'  you no lie
 The hook brings  you back
On that  you can rely
 There is something amiss
 I am being insincere
 In fact I don't mean any of this
 Still my confession draws you near
 To confess the issue I refer
 To familiar heroes from long ago
 No matter how much Peter loved her
 What made the Pan refuse to grow
 Was that the hook brings you back
 I ain't tellin' you no lie
 The hook brings you back
 On that you can rely
 --Popper's Harmonica Solo--
 Suck it in suck it in suck it in
 If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
 Make a desperate move or else you'll win
 And then begin
 To see
 What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
 It's so PC it's killing me
 So desperately I'll sing to thee
 Of love
 Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
 And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
 I've tried well no in fact I've lied
 Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
 To hide or slide
 I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died
 And only then shall I abide this tide
 Oc catchy little tunes
 Of hip three minute ditties
 I wanna bust all your balloons
 I wanna burn all of youre cities
 To the ground I've found
 I will not mess around
 Unless I play then hey
 I will go on all day hear what I say
 I have a prayer to pray
 That's really all this was
 And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
 I don't rely on luck because...
 The hook brings you back
 I ain't tellin' you no lie
 The hook brings you back
 On that you can rely

There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confess the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her

Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie

Suck it in suck it in suck it in
