On the day she finally left me
She left one thing behind
Just a small box on the table
That she wanted me to find
There was something bad inside it
It was something that I should have left alone

Now everything is standing still
It was only my head that made it revolve
Everything was fine until
It was awful instead
Now watch me dissolve

It was mine now, something secret
Something precious and rare
And then it changed me, and I liked it
Now I wish it wasn't there
Would you cancel my appointments
Pretty sure I won't be coming in today

'cause everything is standing still
It was only my head that made it revolve
Everything was fine until
It was awful instead
Now watch me dissolve

Everything is standing still
It was only my head that made it revolve
Everything was fine until
It was awful instead
Now watch me dissolve


From inside these limousines
The world is looking darker every day
And you wonder if that means
That when you close your eyes it goes away
It goes away

Tie up your loose ends one by one
Your time is almost through
Even your angels think you're done
They roll their eyes at you

Because it's you
Who's getting bigger every day
And it's you
Who's gonna drive them all away
As they turn to go
You can forgive them for they know not what they do
The world belongs to you


Staying inside, lying in bed
Noticing something that's not there
Follow my heart, follow my head
I'll follow anything that might get me somewhere

I quit, I'm done
Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
It's no fair, it's no fun
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
Me zero
Big bad world one
