Big Bad World One (Live 2014)

Lyrics

All alone by the table of food
 In my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie
 Only thinkin' of somethin' to say
 In the moment after the girl walks by
 Everyone else is having fun or else pretending to
 I eat another crudités
 I quit, I'm done
 'Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
 It's no fair, it's no fun
 If every time it's gonna end the same way
 Me zero
 Big bad world one
 ♪
 At the office we're all having cake
 'cause it's someone's birthday, I don't know who
 Got my plate and I'm scanning the room
 And the only seat is right next to you
 I get the nod, the tiny smile that doesn't come with teeth
 Maybe you don't know who I am
 I quit, I'm done
 'Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
 It's no fair, it's no fun
 If every time it's gonna end the same way
 Me zero
 Big bad world one
 Staying inside, lying in bed
 Noticing something that's not there
 Follow my heart, follow my head
 I'll follow anything that might get me somewhere
 Catch her eye when she's pouring my coffee
 And search my head for an opening line
 But I see by the look on her face
 If I keep my mouth shut I'll save some time
 What if the best that I can be just isn't good enough?
 Isn't it better not to know?
 I quit, I'm done
 'Cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
 It's no fair, it's no fun
 If every time it's gonna end the same way
 Me zero
 Big bad world one
