"Emoticons" lyrics - THE WOMBATS

It's tough to stay objective, baby
With your tongue abseiling down my neck
It's a bullet-proof offer and I can't accept...

It's tough to maintain focus, baby
Now all my elephants are in the room
We crave the fiction when we need the truth
You need to find a different boy's heart to-

[Chorus 1:]
Chew
Chew
And all these emoticons and words
Try to make it better, but they only make it worse

It's tough to feign indifference, baby
Now I'm spending all the money I have
Trying to impress you is kinda driving me mad...

And I don't blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky
I blame what happens every time we're under neon lights
We crave attention in a room with a view
You need to find a different boy's heart to-

[Chorus 2:]
Chew
Chew
And all these emoticons and words
Try to make it better, but they only make it worse

(Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh)
And all these emoticons and words (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh ooh)
Fail to make it better; their attempts just make it worse...

[Bridge:]
(Ah, ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah)
And there's everything I want and nothing I can keep
(Ah, ah-ah ah, ah-ah ah)
And behind these metaphors, I want you literally

We crave the fiction when we need the truth
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew...

[Chorus 3:]
Chew
And all these emoticons and words (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh ooh)
Try to make it better, but they only make it worse (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh)...

[Outro:]
But I like it here so much I might stay
The edge of nowhere's such a beautiful place
The edge of nowhere's such a beautiful place...
