I wanna be loved by strangers
Hug my heroes
But I'm seeing shadows
Where I go they go
Mirrored by the moment
Painted back against the wall
Where's the loophole
Where's the exit
My legs are dragging on sticky carpet
Drink it down in one hit
Stare along the skirting board
Humiliation
Tell me where to hide all this frustration
Cause this is not the time or place
Humiliation
Caught stark naked
An awkward vagrant
It's cold cold comfort
L'esprit d'escalier
I don't know how to do it
I think I'm not quite right
Mirror mirror in my head
The valley of strangers
I can't see through it
I don't know how you do it
You do it every time
Humiliation
Tell me how to handle this frustration
Cause this is not the time or place
