  • Spreading, it's headed here like lightning
    Screaming like elevated trains
    Does this word sound like the death bird calling
    Out your name at midnight? Once again, it tries at 12:15

    Every dirty trick, every second lost
    Every crucifix, every albatross
    Every bridge I burn, every path I cross
    Every chance I get, I find myself lost
    Everywhere I look, everyone's insane
    Give me a good book and some Novocaine
    Everyone I know is now dead and gone
    I'm all that's left, oblivion

    Leaving this freezing Land of Lincoln
    Seeking my place out in the sun
    Has this world stopped asking what it's thinking?
    Did it stop thinking of you?
    And when do you suppose it turned its back on me?

    Every dirty trick, every second lost
    Every crucifix, every albatross
    Every bridge I burn, every path I cross
    Every chance I get, I find myself lost
    Everywhere I look, everyone's insane
    Give me a good book and some Novocaine
    Everyone I know is now dead and gone
    I'm all that's left, oblivion

    O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N
    A method of modern
    O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N
    A method of modern
    O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N
    A method of modern
    O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N
    A method of modern

    Every dirty trick, every second lost
    Every crucifix, every albatross
    Every bridge I burn, every path I cross
    Every chance I get, I find myself lost
    Everywhere I look, everyone's insane
    Give me a good book and some Novocaine
    Everyone I know is now dead and gone
    I'm all that's left, oblivion
