wasting away
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 8.13.98

you said our lives are like her songs/ i think i'd rather be her fairy tail/ 'cause we've got the story all wrong/ so we're left here/ wasting away// thought that i could break the rules/ one in ten was for the beauty queens/ and i thought they'd see me disappear but no one noticed, and now i'm/ wasting away// you've been looking for years/ but you can't see right/ with eyes like circus mirrors/ are you even trying to see tonight?/ see that you're not quite/ wasting away// you don't have to turn yourself inside out with me/ cause in the moonlight your transparen cy/ // / you said our lives are like her songs/ i'd prefer the matinee/ 'cause we've been acting all wrong/ since we've been left here/ wasting away// you said our lives are like her songs/ i think i'd prefer the matinee/ 'cause we've been acting all night long/ and we're still here/ wasting away//
