[Lyrics for Aimee Mann – It S Not]
I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot
Or something I can’t see interrupts the current
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
And from behind the screen it can look so perfect
But it’s not
So here I’m sittin’ in my car at the same old stop light
I keep waiting for a change, buy I don’t know what
So red turns into green, turning into yellow
But I’m just frozen here on the same old spot
And all I have to do is to press the peddle
But I’m not, no I’m not
People are tricky, you can’t afford to show
Anything risky, anything they don’t know
The moment you try, well kiss it goodbye
So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator
And let me fall into the dream of the astronaut
Where I get lost in space that goes on forever
And you make all the rest just an after thought
And I believe it’s you who can make it better
Though it’s not, no its not, no its not
