There's a band on stage tonight   And every note they play turns it's back to you   But still you wanna add them to the sad list of things you've said "Yes" to   And they don't wanna save your life   They just want to distract you for a while   And the new dance craze is the same as the old one: The unsustainable lifestyle      There's only so much oxygen   Left in the room      When they ask you about The Great Smoothing Down, will you tell them what you saw?   Heavy-lidded eyes pledging allegiance to the soft hands that come from living above the law   And irony was the only weapon on your shelf, but you were too embarrassed to use it to defend yourself      There's only so much oxygen   Left in the room
