  • Call on the fates, this'll take a second
    While I fall on my face, like everyone else
    And we can talk all we want, but all I can say is that
    "I'm sorry, and I'm sorry, but I'm never gonna do it again"

    Counting all my relevant friends
    Well this keeps coming up again and again
    If everybody knows how it's gonna end
    Why doesn't someone stop me
    Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
    For the 6th or 7th night in a row
    I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
    Someone stop me?

    It's hard to rely on the rhythm section
    When they're all packing up
    And they're heading for the exit
    Yeah we're all about the same
    A bunch of slaves to fashion
    Who are tall, dark and scared
    And just praying for some action

    How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
    (how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?)
    Well, how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
    (how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?)

    (inaction, inaction)
    I'm counting all my relevant friends
    (inaction, inaction)
    'cause this keeps coming up again and again
    (inaction, inaction)
    If everybody knows how it's gonna end
    (inaction, inaction)
    Why doesn't someone stop me
    (inaction, inaction)
    Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
    (inaction, inaction)
    For the 6th or 7th night in a row
    (inaction, inaction)
    I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
    (inaction, inaction)
    Someone stop me
    (inaction, inaction)

    (inaction, inaction)
    I can't keep counting on my relevant friends
    (inaction, inaction)
    'cause this keeps coming up again and again
    (inaction, inaction)
    If everybody knows how it's gonna end
    (inaction, inaction)
    Why doesn't someone stop me
    (inaction, inaction)
    Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
    (inaction, inaction)
    For the 6th or 7th night in a row
    (inaction, inaction)
    I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
    (inaction, inaction)
    Someone stop me
