Lyrics: Dear Chandelier. Other. Unfashionable, Irrational.


Keep all those boys around!
You better secure that mind of yours
And never let that f-front down.

Put away that evidence,
So no one knows a thought.
Put away that evidence,
So you just don't get caught.

I got a question,
But I'm not sure how to ask it.
I've never met
A body and a mind
Inside a package.

Cause' words like these
Created caskets for the last kid.

Originality is not everlasting,
Cause dilated eyes
Never see the whole damn picture.

Irrational, unfashionable materials.
Mind's that are painted,
Are far from the safest!

I'm begging for
Courtesy!
Jealousy!
To stop following me!
So keep all those boys around
(Oh around)
Make me proud!

Friends can only last forever
When you're not a harlot.
Years and years of practice
Gets you ready for the market.

Pen and pad certified,
Baby just mark it.

Originality is not everlasting,
Cause dilated eyes
Never see the whole damn picture

Irrational, unfashionable materials.
Mind's that are painted,
Are far from the safest!

I'm begging for
Courtesy!
Jealousy!
To stop following me!
So keep all those boys around
(Oh around)
Make me proud!

Could you keep a secret like a good girl?
Or spill the bad news for a bad world.
Cause' in a second you'll be sad girl,
And I know that you want it.
Oh I know that you want it.

We all know A is for attention.
It's what a good student should mention.
I never had a bad intention.
But when you swim inside detention,
It's the only thing that you will mention.
(Baby girl)

Could you keep a secret like a good girl?
Or spill the bad news for a bad world.
Oh, in a second you'll be sad girl,
And I know that you want me.
And I know that you're not worthy.

I'm begging for
Courtesy!
Jealousy!
To stop following me!
So keep all those boys around
(Oh around)
Make me proud!
Dear Chandelier
