Ah, electric hideaway My pride and shame Ah, riding a tidal wave of lies and blame Dream electric dreams Perfect on the surface Life is a but a stream Where everybody's shirtless Tell me what you mean To be heard is to hurt less Nothing's what it seems At this electric circus Ah, electric hideaway My pride and shame Ah, crushed by a tidal wave of lies and blame Trash my self-esteem When you're feeling worthless Hunched over a screen To feel some sense of purpose I'm trying so hard to make it look easy Falling apart with a smile on my face Everyone loves everybody until they need some thing Then I pretend like I didn't hear my cell phone ring Ah, electric hideaway My pride and shame Ah, riding a tidal wave of lies and blame Ah, crushed by a tidal wave of lies and blame There's no one beneath me It's so easy to leave me I loved you completely So deeply, so briefly Ah, electric hideaway My pride and shame Ah, crushed by a tidal wave of lies and blame (Nothing's what it seems) (At this electric circus)
