Soft Target

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
