I was drinking mescaline behind the iron door
But it don't work like that
I was lighting fireworks to get the boats to shore
But it don't work like that
I was holding women who would match with me online
But it don't work like that
Pity sex and LSD won't paint a perfect fantasy
No it don't work like that
I wanna be alone
But not all the time
I just want someone tonight
Send a picture to my phone
I'll keep it on my screen
I'll keep it next to me
While I'm asleep, alone
While I'm asleep, alone
Laughing with the reaper won't keep you off his list
No it don't work like that
Waiting for a lover to have the perfect kiss
But it don't work like that
I was told so many things about the world today
But it don't work like that
Wishing I could call you up and bitch about yesterday
But it don't work like that
I wanna be alone
But not all the time
I just want someone tonight
Send a picture to my phone
I'll keep it on my screen
I'll keep it next to me
While I'm asleep, alone
While I'm asleep, alone
While I'm asleep, alone
I'm asleep, alone
