There Ought To Be A Town Out There, Named For How I Feel. Yeah I Could Be The Mayor Down There, And Say Welcome To Sorryville. It Won't Be On A Map Nowhere, You Might Say That It Doesn't Exist, But If You Make Enough Wrong Turns It'd Be Hard To Miss.
There Ought To Be A Bridge Somewhere They Could Dedicate To Me. I'd Probably Come To The Ceremony With A Can Of Gasoline; Walk On Over To The Other Side And There I'd Light A Match And Sit And Stare Through The Smoke And The Flames Wonderin' How I'm Ever Gonna Get Back.
Why Do I Do The Things I Do? Was I Born This Way? Am I A Self-made Fool? I Shoot The Lights And Curse The Dark; I Need Your Love But I Break Your Heart; And I Know The Words That'll Bring You Back, But I Don't Say Nothin' As I Watch You Pack. I Had To Work To Be The Jerk I've Come To Be; It Ain't Easy Bein' Me.
Ought To Be A Side Show Act For Freaks Like Me; Yeah I Could Be The Star Of The Show With My Name On The Marquee. In A Room With A Big Red Button That Says 'Do Not Touch,' And Twice A Day I'd Mash It Down And You Could Watch Me Self-destruct.
