Lyrics (as they are heard on the BDTH Japanese import)

Now mine is a sunshine kind of a valentine
but sometimes I still don't feel even worth a dime
but it used to be different, before I'd been where I've been
Oooh ooh ooh oooh

Now you've got a heart so you know how it feels
when you can't move at the top of a ferris wheel
but I used to keep trying, but it always felt like dying
Oooh ooh ooh oooh


Sad, sad
Everything has gone bad
in the dreams I 've had
they all laugh at what I have
Oh, no
Tell me that it ain't true
when I wake I'm still me
man, I wish I could once be you
Now I used to feel lucky, 'till I spent some time with me
ooh ooh ooh oooh

Now if losing is amusing, man get a load of me
you see me fallin' in love with a guillotine
but it used to be funny, to think you would think of me
Oooh ooh ooh oooh

Now I wish I could just take all my things and leave
but I've fallen down in the wheels of this machine
but it used to be somethin', to be nowhere with nothin'
Oooh ooh ooh oooh

Sad, sad
Everything has gone bad
in the dreams I 've had
they all laugh at what I have
Oh, no
Tell me that it ain't true
when I wake I'm still me
man, I wish I could once be you
Now I used to feel lucky, 'till I spent some time with me
ooh ooh ooh oooh

Sad, sad
Everything has gone bad
in the dreams I 've had
they all laugh at what I have
Oh, no
Tell me that it ain't true
when I wake I'm still me
man, I wish I could once be you
Now I used to feel lucky, 'till I spent some time with me
ooh ooh ooh oooh

Lyrics (*from sidewalkannie.com):

Well, there goes Sally
My old lady
She gone crazy drawin' lines on her face
And you know I got a feelin'
That Sally been a-stealin'
Cause I was hipped to this
That you don't trust skinny lips.

Sally got a good heart
Raised on a churchyard
But it ain't never far from the backyard
To the boulevard
Cemetery girls ain't fun
They ain't sweet like sugar plums
She wasn't always like this, but she did have skinny lips.

Well, I don't believe it
She don't, she don't need it from me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Now I seen her on the weekends
My little rose garden
I say hello to all her friends
And the gentlemen
Now I heard it from a junkie
That my old lady
Wasn't mine, but everyone's skinny lips.

Well, I don't believe it
She don't, she don't need it from me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Now I seen her on the weekends
My little rose garden
I say hello to all her friends
And the gentlemen
Now I heard it from a junkie
That my old lady
Wasn't mine, but everyone's skinny lips.

Come on, come on, come on, I need a witness
Man, it shouldn't be like this
Cause you know you won't be the pill
That makes me feel that I'm the best
Come on, come on Skinny Lips
Come on and give me just one kiss
Cause you know I've only got one wish
I wanna be in love with Skinny Lips.

Well, I don't believe it
She don't, she don't need it from me
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Now I seen her on the weekends
My little rose garden
I say hello to all her friends
And the gentlemen
Now I heard it from a junkie
That my old lady
Wasn't mine, but everyone's skinny lips
