Avant Garde Lyrics

I've got something on my mind
I've locked it all inside
I'm that stranger with blue eyes
My mother warned me of her code
I had a friend who went too far
Her daddy told her it's all words
And now it's almost over
Now it's almost over

Acting tragic like you didn't care
That's what people tell me
You know it never gets you anywhere
That's what people tell me
Why do you have to make it oh so hard
That's what people tell me
Wasting effort acting avant garde
That's what people tell me

It only happens after dark
It resembles a breaking heart
And now it's almost over
Now it's almost over
Oh, almost over
Oh, almost over

Acting tragic like you didn't care
That's what people tell me
You know it never gets you anywhere
That's what people tell me
Why do you have to make it oh so hard
That's what people tell me
Wasting effort acting avant garde
That's what people tell me
