I've Got An Attitude

Fusion
Illusion
And I've got an attitude
Can you spill another heartache on my shirt?
Can you pencil my name and phone number
On another bathroom wall?
Can you drag my reputation through the dirt?
Abrasion
Contusion
And I'm walking around half nude
Can you send me grandpa's bathrobe in the mail?
Can you take these silent teardrops
From my ankles and my sleeves?
Can you sell me something cheap that's not on sale?

It don't matter what you say
I'm leaving anyway
Because I've got an attitude
It don't matter what I write
I'm still kissing you goodnight
I guess it's some kind of platitude
Fusion
Illusion
Abrasion
Contusion
Creation
Elation
Sedation
Vacation
Attention
Prevention
Dissension
Intention
And I've got an attitude

Creation
Elation
And I've got a saxophone
Can you teach me to wail the forties blues
Can you chain me up to Saturday's memories?
Can you lace me up a brand new pair of shoes?
Sedation
Vacation
And nobody else has grown
Can you bury all the questions for awhile?
Can you sing another love song
That the world has never known?
Can you leave a touch of moisture on my smile?

It don't matter what you say
I'm leaving anyway
Because I've got an attitude
It don't matter what I write
I'm still kissing you goodnight
I guess it's some kind of platitude

Dissension
Intention
Well I've got an attitude

Attention
Prevention
And I've got a safety net
Can you chase these dusty cobwebs from my heart?
Can you multiply the noises by the silence on the streets?
And tear these char-coaled funeral walls apart?
Dissension
Intention
And I haven't found heaven yet
Can you weave me into quilts where sorrow breathes?
Can you steal another thought
And place a wager on my thigh
Can you help me touch that ceiling with these knees?

It don't matter what you say
I'm leaving anyway
Because I've got an attitude
It don't matter what I write
I'm still kissing you goodnight
It must be some kind of platitude
