--seven-hour kisses.

Video.



Tell me why I feel so bad, honey,
TV's flat and nothing is funny,
I get sad and stuck in a cone of silence,
Like a big balloon with nothing for ballast,
Labeled like a bottle for Alice,
Drink me or I'll drown in a sea of giants...


And tell me, "Baby, baby, I love you.",
It's nonstop memories of you,
It's like a video of you playing,
It's all loops of seven-hour kisses,
Cut with a couple near-misses,
Back to the scene of the actor saying,
"Tell me, baby, baby – why do I feel so bad?"


Tell me why I feel so bad, honey,
Fighting left me plenty of money,
But didn't keep the promise of memory lapses,
Like a building that's been slated for blasting,
I'm the proof that nothing is lasting,
Counting to eleven as it collapses...


And tell me, "Baby, baby, I love you.",
It's nonstop memories of you,
It's like a video of you playing,
It's all loops of seven-hour kisses,
Cut with a couple near-misses,
Back to the scene of the actor saying,
"Tell me, baby, baby – why do I feel so bad?"

Baby, baby, I love you...
