lyrics

Sometimes I'm 6'2 and sometimes I'm 5'7
I Can Make your life Hell, Or I can make it heaven
I Can't light a cigarette, but smoke gets in my lungs
I can barely raise a fist, but I will torture you for fun
I scribble with my left hand and I wrong with my Right
I am a pacifist, but there's no one I wouldn't fight
I Cry like a crocodile floating in the ocean, I still burn in the shadow wearing factor 50 lotion

How Can I Trust you if I can't trust myself?
I barely know my name yet I have infinite wealth
and how can you trust me know you know my poker face
do I know what I'm doing did I fire the gun to start the race

I'll keep all your secrets, but I've got more faces than big ben
I know all the answers like Lenny from 'Of Mice and Men'
I Keep my blockbusters card everywhere I go I have studied 'Fight Club', 'The Usual Suspects' and 'The Truman Show'
Maybe I'm a fantasist, an actor or a bastard, but the honest answer is I'm a fruitcake I'll never have the answers
I don't deserve an Oscar because I've always been myself
A psychiatrist's wet dream whose book is always on the shelf

How Can I Trust you if I can't trust myself?
I barely know my name yet I have infinite wealth
and how can you trust me know you know my poker face
do I know what I'm doing did I fire the gun to start the race
