Learn How to Play Dead

Dig, if you will, the pictures
Of all the people that you've missed
The one with me looks best, you hate it 'cause your hair's a mess

Now baby
My memory's hazy

Like the look of those new jeans
They can't believe he's only eighteen
Don't knock it 'till you try it while the clothes are on the line

I said baby
You've gotten so lazy
[?]
Let's learn how to play dead

I'll never forget the stupid things that we did
Like characters from Dickens only with a new ritual
Of smoking and kissing

Those needles and pins are a fixture
Of her underrated fashion sense
She dresses like Keith if he took care of her teeth

Now baby
Your memory's hazy
When it becomes apparent
All that you inherit
Are traits that drive you crazy
And you're lost inside the mazes

Oh baby
You must think I'm crazy
That my love is mislead
I've learnt how to play dead

Loading the final points of the game that you play
If I decide to stay
I'll surely aim to please
I can never bear to leave you
I could never bear to leave you

I'll never forget the stupid things that we did
Like characters from Dickens only with a new ritual
Of smoking and kissing

That I'm probably missing
That I'm probably missing
