The oldest story in the world, a tale of a simple man
With nothing but a soul of gold, but he resists
Why you wearing the strangest clothes, (you) should be the usual clone
Ain't your mama at home to think for you?

I've got some smiles at the liquor store, among debris
I had a bunch of friends that never knew my name
They lack style, oh boy, they are so lame, my friend

But still I'm living like the king of hopes and dreams
You and all your friends, you got no place to go
You should have stayed at home, you should have stayed at home

There's nothing worse than letting go, a life in vain
Swimming at the Karma's Beach ain't cheap, you know?
You should have stayed at home with your own deep, dark regrets

I've tried to be like them
But they're so strange, everyone else
Hooray, not me!
I dress to distress, I dress to distress

I've tried to be like them
But they're so strange, everyone else
Hooray, not me!
I dress to distress, I dress to distress

A man with such a common fate can go insane
'You should wear a giant cone of shame, my boy
For all your sins, so sad, you should be on a cage'

A broken heart can take you home, you know it can
Drilling in the core of a neon sun
I've found a place so cold you can sleep for day

Still I'm like the goddamn king of useless shit
Cosmic love is strong as an atomic bomb
A peaceful mind is blind to darker days

Never walk these streets alone, (it's) a strange place
Swimming at the Karma's Beach is just a dream
We have to let it go, with our own deep, dark regrets

I've tried to be like them
But they're so strange, everyone else
Hooray, not me!
I dress to distress, I dress to distress

I've tried to be like them
But they're so strange, everyone else
Hooray, not me!
I dress to distress, I dress to distress

I've tried to be like them
But they're so strange, everyone else
Hooray, not me!
I dress to distress, I dress to distress

I've tried to be like them
But they're so strange, everyone else
Hooray, not me!
I dress to distress, I dress to distress
