Lyrics[]
Take the trouble to pronounce the street names right People like it when you show respect Look out the window at the softening asphalt The dreamy shimmer of the haze effect Wear my lizard suit to the party It's so hard to get noticed in this town Almost invisible aboard the train So many people who you just can't read Dawdle when I reach the final station Don't make a move until the crowds recede Wear my lizard suit to the party It's so hard to get noticed in this town Wait for my cue Search for one clue I have to trust that my compass stays true Let my phobias control my habits Let my habits form the shapes of days All alone up on the rooftop sometimes Among the beacons where the lightning plays Wear my lizard suit to the party It's so hard to get noticed in this town
