This is your new thing now Naked as a rose Everything exposed But not quite This is your new thing now Cards out on the table A genius with no label But not quite, not quite
God, I swear it's good to be back home Waiting for the newest rolling stone All the other girls are still at war The best and worst of 1994 Sometimes I see the half and not the whole Sometimes I see the face and not the soul Sometimes I think this place has no part For anyone who ever had a heart
This is your new thing now And it looks so good in print Just a poet and her pimps But not quite This is your new thing now A prom dress and a sneer The woman of the year But not quite, not quite
Gee, it's good to see a dream come true People smile and bless all over you Mixing up those latest junkie-isms With all the pretty terms of religion And don't you love the leader of the band Equal parts butthead and peter pan All the other kids are sad again A legend's not a legend 'til it ends
This is your new thing now And it makes the whole world spin It's as least as old as sin But not quite This is your new thing now And now you're turning grinning But maybe no one's listening And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might
This is your new thing now And it feels so good to doubt you I could almost live without you But not quite
