Running With Scissors

I could put this out of its misery, abandon ship
Those who keep on running with scissors eventually slip
So if this becomes ancient history I wish you well
I’m so close to solving this mystery on which I dwell

(I’ve got something to say)
That I don’t wanna be
(Not another one in your way)
Some kind of property
(Not another game that you play)
A c-commodity
(Now I’m gonna be on my way)
And you’ll be watchin’ me

Hey! Hey!
And you’ll be watchin’ me

Please don’t bother painting a picture I can see the brush
Please don’t try to alter the fixture now I know too much
Why do you insist on a pinch you know you’re wide awake
Look me in the eye and I’ll flinch I’ve always been a flake

(I’ve got something to say)
That I don’t wanna be
(Not another one in your way)
Some kind of property
(Not another game that you play)
A c-commodity
(Now I’m gonna be on my way)
And you’ll be watchin’ me

I could put this out of it’s misery, abandon ship
Those who keep on running with scissors eventually slip
