You smell like cigarettes and violets   You invite me in but won't tell me your name   Your hands held all the aces   Kings and queens but still you lost the game   Messed up like a sunset   Too close to be a star   Messed up like an actor   That got stuck doing porn   Messed up skipping dinner   And living on popcorn   Messed up like a song      Right turn in the wrong lane   A quick fix but all your love's in vain   Best schools worst grades   Sold out but baby forgot to get paid   Messed up like the father   Who couldn't see the son   Messed up like an outlaw who blamed it on the gun   Messed up like an in-law   Who did what one might   We're messed up here tonight      Well there's cops and shoppers on the hunt   I'm writing in a restaurant   A stranger taking orders asked me what I want   Told the secrets of the hope   It seems   Messed up like a martyr   Straight or on the rocks   Messed up like my mother   Crazy like a fox   Messed up like the sunlight   Too early in my eyes   Messed up like a prizefight   At least you could've tried   Messed up like the system   You used to call a sin   Messed up like an earthquake   You couldn't keep it in   Messed up like a birthday   I can't recall the date   But you still love to hate
