Lame:

Intro

 There's a tall, mulatto, boy I know

 And he comes to every party - he stands alone.

 In viewing them the rest, the 'corner of his glance, it gets so clear

 He's not, judging anyone.

 The way his arms float around his cage, he's caged

 Canary sings, silently brings, his voice to rage.

 The way they stop and stare, the way they turn their

  heads, it's enough to make him want to run away,

 But he stays, he stands his ground.

(Chorus)

 And I'm, I'm so damn lame.

 The way I condescend without ever knowing his name.

 He keeps it in a box, hangs it from his ear

  Looks at everyone without the slightest fear.

 It's makin' me so ashamed.

 Slender body, slip through his glance.

 I don't give it a single chance.

 The way he's rocking back and forth,

 makes a buzzin' in my ear,

 Constantly reminding me that I never stop to hear

 him say hello, hello.

(Chorus 2)

 And I'm, I'm so damn lame.

 Like a moth bumpin' off his godless flame.

 I cannot condescend or even apprehend, what comes over me

 When I see his shameless face.

 So rage, please rage, against me

 Beat me down, beat me down, forgive me,

 For what I've done, I'm so lame, I'm so lame, I'm so lame

 So lame, so lame, so lame.
