it takes blood and guts to be this cool but i'm still just a cliche

Singer:skunk anansie

save me from critical acclaim

save my smile it`s too cracked from fame

wish me well with my fantasy

feel my arrogance with your sanity

wash me oh so painfully clean

disect my words with a fist full of your dreams

build me up and strike me down please

sign my name

sign my name

it takes blood and guts to be this cool

but i`m still just a cliche

just a cliche

colour my views in red

white and blue

i`m wide awake now

wide awake now

i kiss you

i kiss you

but i`m falling down

and all my friends are crowding around

they`re crowding around looking to see

but all they can see is me

me

me

so blow me away now

with your screwed up mind

there`s no charm left now

for you to find

i see you

you see me

and who the hell am i supposed to be

i don`t care now but i know that i should

washing away

like i knew i would

it takes blood and guts to be this way

but i`m still
