From the Album: Hey 19 (2000)
Matinee Idol
Matinee idol from the first
He's somewhat forgetful but alert
They call you angelic but you feel like such a jerk
You watch all his keepers claim the purse
Does this make you feel worse? To witness this foray
Reservoir dries and he's just prey
Or do you feel fine with confusion and decay?
Just pleasantries keep us afloat
Make us wait outside, turn delusion into pay
It's hour by hour it's note by note
