 if you don't know or care you'll be alright
 i heard it's modern to be stupid
 you don't need to talk to look good
 i surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
 there is nothing left of my nerves
 as i lean over to ask her
 (1:13)
 (Repeat (*) during the chorus)
pardon  the intrusion
could  we leave before it gets  bad
i  might smash up all these  windows
and  set fire to the curtains
until  it goes on and eats  it with its blue and red orange
until  the fire burns and eats  it with its blue and red orange
