Soft Target lyrics

Had a dream about the seventies When no one locked their door at night And we fight like fleas Baby never knows what she's gonna get A birthday party, the chemistry set Hey paranoia, shark in the water Silver loving daughter on every stage We live forever, tangled in the never Try to love a little bit anyway And you said something about loss And crying on the inside I'm a soft target and you know it Harder on the outside They're still using the same signs Caught me on the flip side I'm a soft target and you know it Talk of doing the impossible But it's Tuesday night and we're all full of chemicals Take my boyfriend like a sedative We used to be so difficult to live with My pleonasm, tiny little chasm Now the future has them on every street We fuel the fire, Z for Zachariah Neighbour built a bunker, it's six feet deep And you said something about loss And crying on the inside I'm a soft target and you know it Harder on the outside I'm the first one that you'll find Sleeping on a landslide I'm a soft target and you know it Why does everybody look the same Why does everybody look the same And I'm surrounded by mid-century furniture again You said something about loss And crying on the inside I'm a soft target and you know it Harder on the outside It's so perfect the way you climb I'm building you an empire I'm a soft target and you know it
