White wine and sleeping pills / Help me get back to your arms / Cheap sex and sad films / Help me get where I belong / I think you're crazy, maybe / I think you're crazy, maybe / Stop sending letter / Letters always get burned / It's not like the movies / They fed us on little white lies / I think you're crazy, maybe / I think you're crazy, maybe / I will see you in the next life / Beautiful angel / Pulled apart at birth / Limbless and helpless / I can't even recognize you / I think you're crazy, maybe / I think you're crazy, maybe / I think you're crazy, maybe / I think you're crazy, maybe / I will see you in the next life / (What's that one called?) / (Um, at the moment it's called Motion Picture Soundtrack, 'cause I thought that would be a really good way to get on MTV.)
