lyrics

The world is distorted in my eyes
And no one else can see what I can see
I know this isn't really what it's like
But still it's what I'm going to believe

A lot of pretty girls in the world it seems
A lot of girls I'd like to take up all my time
And if I get the chance to keep one for my own
I hope first that I can go blind

Because they all look good from a distance
But up close they're just like me
And I haven't got a resistance
To my own disease
Yes they all look good from a distance

Women like things about me
But they don't really like me
They like it when I stand there and smile
And nod and respond politely
Well I don't like to fight
So I have learned to act nicely
But acting as a hobby
Can get kind of dicey
When every girl is playing the same role
And that's the role of the girl, of course

And they all look good from a distance
But up close they're just like me
And I haven't got a resistance
To my own disease
Yes they all look good from a distance

The world distorted in my eyes
They all look good from a distance
And no one else can see what I can see
But up close they're just like me
I know this isn't really what it's like
And I haven't got a resistance
But still it's what I'm going to believe
To my own disease
