Howard and the Nosebleeds - Cosmic Tease Lyrics

You thought you had it
You thought you had it
You thought you had it, didn't you?

You thought you had it
So close we're mad at it
You thought you had it, didn't you?

The more you grasp it
The less it's lastin'
The more do you grasp it, doo doo doo
You thought you had it
So close you're mad at it
You thought you had it, didn't you?

If it wasn't so close, then it wouldn't be in the way
And if I knew what to do, then I wouldn't know what to say
6 hours from Mexico stuck in a trance

Dance!

I thought I had it
You thought I had it
We thought we had it, didn't you?
You never had it
No way for you to mask it
You thought you had it, didn't you?

Turning back the pages, I find another door
Forgetting what I opened this book for
I've never been much for reading between the lines

And doesn't it bring you down?
Doesn't it bring you down?
Doesn't it bring you down?
Doesn't it bring you down?
Bring you down

Doesn't it bring you down?
And doesn't it bring you down?
Doesn't it bring you down?
Doesn't it bring you down?
Bring you down

You cannot hold it
Be bought or sold
No one may know it, no no no
Everyone has it
But you're still actin' drastic
And wrapped in plastic, oh poor you

Remembering who you are just in time
Living a life inside of rhyme
Call the editor
Evict the President
Now I'm your Doctor
