lyrics

chronic pain
just when I think it's over is when it crops up again
everyone's a doctor and no one can explain
the intricate mirage
of my sabotage
trying to get out of Dodge
before I lose my camouflage

and I know it wasn't built for me
and I know it isn't healthy
and I know it wasn't meant to be
and I know, and I know

Mary Jane
is the only one around this town that's keeping me sane
she's balanced on the balls of her feet looking out at the rain
sifting through the debris
of a tragedy
she's determined to believe in a reasoned reality

and I know it wasn't built for me
and I know it isn't healthy
and I know it wasn't meant to be
and I know, and I know

I'm so vain
I think this song is probably about me but how would I know
cause once I put it out in the world I've got to let it go
if you don't clean up your roots
they'll bear bitter fruits
there is no excuse for not pulling those tangles loose

and I know it wasn't built for me
and I know it isn't healthy
and I know it wasn't meant to be
and I know I'm one of many
and I know it wasn't built for me
and I know it isn't healthy
and I know it wasn't meant to be
and I know, and I know
