Namesake Songtext
I've worn out all of your records,
I've torn out page after page.
I have lain with the shadows you threw when you danced with the bright, colored lights of the stage.
Hey, and aren't you grateful?
Sayin' ain't you got fun (?)
Being so good at what you do,
Doin' it right in front of everyone.

Everybody knows you,
I wanna know you.
How you roll like the rolling waters,
You rise like the bright morning stars.
You go fast like the freight train going so fast,
And I don't even know who you are.
But I would not disappoint you if you let me kiss your mouth,
if you let me get to the bottom of you,
if you let me find you out.

Everybody knows you,
Nobody knows you.
Everybody knows you,
I wanna know you.

Oh, but I, in the name of my namesake,
I'm a beautiful fly on the wall
of your four-chambered heartbreak,
a spy in the house of your love.
