I am an arms dealer, fitted with weapons in the form of words And I don't really care what side you're with Long as the room keeps singing, that's just the business I'm in This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn earthquake I'm not a shoulder to cry on, but I digress I'm a leading man, and the lies of the people are so intricate I'm a leading man, and the lies of the people are so intricate I wrote a gospel on giving up But the real bombshells have already sunk At night we're painting your trash gold While you sleep, crashing out like hipster cars No more like p-p-p-parties This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn earthquake Firewagons form, police catch another I'm a leading man, and the lies of the people are so intricate I'm a leading man, and the lies of the people are so intricate This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn earthquake All the boys who the dance floor didn't love And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough Sing until your lungs give out This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn earthquake I'm a leading man, and the lies of the people are so intricate
