bummed out again by your only business friend /
the smell of fear is thicker than you think /
don't do it, don't jump //
changed shape to fit, in the end you just feel sick /
at a minimalized size, under anaesthetic /
hey don't do it, don't jump //
Lewis, save yourself the pain, you'll never get there /
Lewis, save yourself the pain, it never really mattered //
we never noticed, we never understood /
he just got crushed to fit, he never even smelt out the best /
it's the best, it's the best day of your life //
Lewis, save yourself the pain, you'll never get there /
Lewis, save yourself the pain, it never really matters /
no, I swear, I swear, I swear //
oh, mistreated, a low corporate /
mistreated, a low corporate //
i don't wanna to talk about it / i don't wanna to talk about lewis
