Nobody's listening - I can say what I want
And you aren't missing me - I can say what I want
If only I believed, that it was only me
Nobody's whistling - When they walk down the hall
Except for me and you - I can hear you, buddy
If you only knew, that it's only you
And if I jumped in front of a train
I'd be whistling some refrain
-From some cut you opened on me at nineteen
I see the long hair and a face unclean
Paul McCartney, nineteen-seventy
-I suppose I'm John
"There's no convincing me" - Okay, Gemini
"So never speak to me" - Okay, Gemini
You took care of yourself - You had a good, long monologue
Nobody's listening - So believe what you want
And I don't miss you anymore!…
And if I jumped in front of a mirror
I have to crack up for something, now
-I would call myself a joke, for a reason to smile
I see the long hair and a face unclean
James Murphy, Two-thousand Thirteen
-Where have my friends gone?
If you're still listening to me - You'd better cut it out
If the voice in your head's still you - Here's the knife, here's the knife
