Lyrics The Pink Spiders

The Pink Spiders

Saturday Nite Riot

Hey hey this is everything today

When you've got nothing to complain about

You've got nothing to say

So this had better be good or you'd better be quiet

Cause baby I'm not standing in your way

We could paint this city red

Or we could drown it out in gray

If Friday night is a bust Saturday is a riot

Oh Emily I love you for your apathy

How you sell it in your diary

It's no secret, you can't die if your life's a mystery

Emily, now you're starving for some sympathy

And you think you've got it worse than me

But you'll see that you can't live if your life's tragedy

Hey hey girl you're driving me insane

You're obnoxious when they're pretty

You're ecstatic when they're plain

But this is my design, this is my roller coaster

And you said I won't be happy 'til I'm dead

But I told you once before

and girl I meant it when I said

I don't wanna be close I just wanna be closer

All alone and very ordinary (so very)

When your duress is now your sanctuary

(you've got it all wrong)

You've got it wrong

But I've never been the type to walk away so fast

Cause there's no way out until I shout
