|'''Presumed Lyrics'''
|-
|'''(Verse 1)'''
Didn't do that, didn't know that

You're always wrong

But of course I'm such an asshole

Deep in the depth of my soul

'''(Verse 2)'''

Sometimes I wish I was a film star

Perched at the end of a bar

Perhaps a cowboy in a whorehouse

Or just a little gray mouse

'''(Refrain)'''

My house, my house

My house, my house, my house

'''(Verse 3)'''

But of course I realize escaping

Only takes me deeper in

To something that's long gone

You're always wrong

'''(Verse 4)'''

I know things will get better, Wendy

But the times, they do me wrong

Of all the things I'm certain

It's that I must belong

One thing that I can't stand

People don't know how to live

And one fact they got over me is

That they know how to give, how to give
