Lyrics

I'm a poor unfortunate fellow
With my options open wide
It's almost like I'm window shopping
But can't afford to name my surprise
Not my fault I have no money
I never knew that all along
My little stroke of luck would soon be gone
I should've stayed home
Could've just conjured all this madness on my own
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
This rather cruel
Show not worth me coming out and that's a fact
That's why I'm going, going back to my home
I don't have that stroke of genius
When it comes to going out
All these scenes are so perfect
When I'm stuck inside my little house
Look at all the lonely people
Look at how they procreate
To the point where everything is a border, babe
I should've hung try
Better to live a life alone than live to die
(Do you really wanna fly with me?)
Yeah, yeah, do you really wanna die?
I should've stayed home
Should've just turned around and got back in my car
I don't need this trouble
I'd rather be bad off by myself
Too many people
So little choices
Everything is overwhelming
Too many bodies in one place
Don't wanna burst your bubble
But I need my leg, space, my room
To live and breathe
And I can't do it here
Don't you know I've reached my limit?
I have nothing else to give
Think it's time to toe my own line
'Cause I'm pretty positive that
I'm just a poor unfortunate fella
Times will turn but mine won't change
Even if my friends all want me to be there, yeah
Oh, I should've played along
I could've just gone and did all this madness on my own
Oh no, ooh no, oh no
This wasn't proof, yeah, yeah
Sure enough, what has become of me now, what is left?
That's why I'm going, going back to my home
