Cotton Mouth

I'm pretending all the time

I know I'm not so easy on the eyes

But my words my name my light

Keeps them up all night



You put us up there in lights

I know the heat it burns my skin so white

But my shins my knees my lies

Keep them up all night.



So wake me up when my time is done

Because you know that I'm not the one

And give me all that you've got to waste on me

All your love, all your love



I've been cheating all the time

My cotton mouth looks like a pantomime

I'm working overtime

Got me up all night



I'm pretending all the time

I know I'm not so easy on the eyes

But my words my name my light

Keeps them up all night



So wake me up when my time is done

Because you know that I'm not the one



So wake me up when my time is done

Because you know that I'm not the one
