Out on the Weekend - Pretension Lyrics

You've gotta stop looking at me with those expecting eyes
We might be equals here but I'm doing just fine
I thought I was alright on the ground
But something in my head turned me around

These days I'm shooting myself while you're shooting the breeze
Air blows out your head with the greatest of ease
My head is full of lofty ambitions
Now conversing with you is an act of contrition

You wanna follow and I wanna lead
And besides I've got a massive ego to feed

All I want is the world at my fingertips
Word of god sitting on my lips
And I'll be smiling through my teeth
While I'm dying underneath
You say I should expect the worst
Well I'm going out with a burst
You're never going to see me
You're never gonna see me the same way again

Stop
I don't want you to cry
But these days I don't see you and I on the same page
We've been tossing and turning for days

I'll play the god and she'll play the preacher
She says she believes but I know I can't reach her
This world is mine no reason or rhyme
And I can't find the reason

To take the time to explain to you
Who you're talking to, It's all that I'm willing to do

All I want is the world at my fingertips
Word of god sitting on my lips
And I'll be smiling through my teeth
While I'm dying underneath
You say I should expect the worst
Well I'm going out with a burst
You're never going to see me
You're never gonna see me the same way again

All I want is the world at my fingertips
Word of god sitting on my lips
And I'll be smiling through my teeth
While I'm dying underneath
You say I should expect the worst
Well I'm going out with a burst
You're never going to see me
You're never gonna see me the same way again
