Do what you want me to do
Say what you want me to say
Smile when you give me the cue
Play what you want me to play
Don't give up it's a quarter past three
I'm just scared I'll die befoer I can be free
So how come the road never clears?
How come its always so cold
Guess there's no way oughta here
Unless I reshape to your mold
Don't give up it's a quarter past three
I'm just scared I'll die before I can be free

Paint by number
Obey all posted signs
Am I so out of touch
To wanna let my darkness shine

Let's take it down another notch
Dim all your brightest ideas
Just a lil snip, snip to the crotch, now watch
That oughta set you at ease
Don't give up it's a quarter past three
I'm just scared I'll die before I can be free

Paint by number
Obey all posted signs
Am I so out of touch
To wanna let my darkness shine
