All The Rage

1-2-3,2-2-3
The twitching impulses to speak your mind
Ill lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it
Is it in that ugly place thats just behind your face
Where you keep my picture still despite the fact
That you had me replaced
Chorus:
Say goodbye
Baby cant you act your age?
You know why
Im going to give it to you straight
Although Ill never be
Unhappy as you want me to be
Still its all the rage
Ill probably play along
Left to my own devices
Spare me the drone of your advice
The sins of garter and gin
Confession may delay
You know the measuring pole
The merry boots of clay
Ive heard it all before
Youll say it anyway
Chorus
Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief
You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief
So dont try to touch my heart, its darker than you think
And dont try to read my mind because its full of disappearing ink
Chorus
Although Ill never be
Unhappy as you want me to be
Still its all the rage
