Exam Room Seven
I don’t need your moonshine of lies
Neither do I need your goodbyes
Wondering in the woods of my mind,
Feeling misunderstood, left behind
It’s doing me no good, you see?
Should I stay or should I flee?
I’m always in exam room #7
I’m in heaven
I’m in heaven or hell…
In which I dwell…
Ooh ooh ooh
Agony doesn’t have to be painful
When you’re happy in your skin,
In your skin of thick and thin
Liberty is around the bend,
My beautiful,
Hope you’d understand,
Even when you’re upset from deep within
Mmm…mmm…mmm…
I don’t understand
Your quaking hands
Should I make a grand stand?
Should I go or should I be free?
As painful as it seems, baby,
We’re broken at the seams once more
In our unspoken dreams, in which we soar
As resentful as our cold hearts were,
We’re shooting stars in a mighty blur
In our unforgotten cure of we-will-endure
Still, I don’t get it —
Your shyness,
Your slyness
And your clever wit
Ooh…
Your lips are frosty blue with rue, with rue
My hands are quivering, but what’s new?
Your saturated woe —
It shines oh so bright, oh so bright
In the undertow,
We are together tonight with might
Under the surface, we’re blown out fire
By the shadow’s glow of our lonely desire
I’m alwys landing in exam room #7,
Feeling like a 7 out of an eleven
In my heavenly dorm
Where I keep warm
Agony, baby,
It doesn’t have to be painful
When you’re happy in your skin,
In your skin of thick and thin
Liberty is around the bend,
Oh my beautiful soul,
Hope you’d understand,
Even when you’re upset from deep within
I don’t understand
Your quaking hands
Should I make a grand stand?
Should I go or should I be free?
As painful as it seems, baby,
We’re broken at the seams once more
In our unspoken dreams, in which we soar
As resentful as our cold hearts were,
We’re shooting stars in a mighty blur
In our unforgotten cure of we-will-endure
Still, I don’t get it —
Your shyness,
Your slyness
And your clever wit
Our sunlit strength will gleam as long as we belong…
As long as our screams won’t be silenced in this song…
I’m a confused deer in the wilderness
Wish we were joyous like we used to
My wondrous love, my dear precious…
I’m ashamed of what I’ve done to you
I’m always been in exam room #7…
It’s almost a hell-bent heaven…
Again and again and again and again…
Again and again and again
Again and again
Again
Agony, darling,
It doesn’t have to be harming you any longer
When you’re happy in your skin,
In your skin of thick and thin
Liberty is around the bend,
My long lost lover,
Hope you’d understand,
Even when you’re upset from deep within
I don’t understand
Your quaking hands
Should I make a grand stand?
Should I go or should I be free?
As painful as it seems, baby,
We’re broken at the seams once more
In our unspoken dreams, in which we soar
As resentful as our cold hearts were,
We’re shooting stars in a mighty blur
In our unforgotten cure of we-will-endure
Still, I don’t get it —
Your shyness,
Your slyness
And your clever wit
Hopefully, happiness brings more relief
Hopefully, my heart feels no more grief
Farewell to our sorrow…
There’s another tomorrow
My precious love of mine,
Will you be my sunshine?
For, I don’t need your moonshine of lies
Neither do I need your goodbyes…
