I'd like to tell you that my sky's not blue, it's violent rain And in my world, the people on the street don't know my name In my world, I'm seven feet tall And the boys always call, and the girls do too Because in my world, I'm constantly, constantly havin' a breakthrough (hmm) Or a breakdown, or a blackout Would you make out with me underneath the shelter of the balcony? 'Cause I don't need anyone I don't need anyone I just need everyone and then some I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone) I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone) I just need everyone and then some (I just need everyone and then some) Wish I could see what it's like to be the blood in my veins Do the insides of all of my fingers still look the same? And can you feel it too, when I am touchin' you? And when my hair stands on ends, it's saluting you The blush in your cheeks says that you bleed like me And the 808 beat sends your heart to your feet Left my shoes in the street so you'd carry me Through a breakdown Through a breakdown or a blackout Would you make out with me on the floor of the mezzanine? 'Cause I don't need anyone I don't need anyone I just need everyone and then some I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone) I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone) I just need everyone and then some (I just need everyone and then some) My face is full of spiderwebs, all tender yellow blue And still with one eye open, well, all I see is you I left my daydreams at the gate because I just can't take 'em too Know my heart still has a suitcase, but I still can't take it through I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone) I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone) I just need everyone and then some I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone) I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone) I just need everyone and then some (I just need everyone and then some) I don't need anyone I don't need anyone I just need everyone and then some Oh-mmm, oh-mmm (yep)
