"Sex, Etc." lyrics

Did you get what you need?
What you wanted? Catching up on your sleep?
Really staying on it? I caved to the depths for you
Even became a bad friend for you
Want to know how I grieve?
It's demonic, so's the way that you leave
Use and discard it, lost fights to my quiet nights
So I'm trying like every vice

I know, I know it's far from ideal
But you don't get to tell me how I can and can't heal

Showing out, showing up, showing I'm forgetting ya
Party lungs, dance, drugs, sex, etcetera
Ooh, look what you made a girl do
She was a hopeless romancer, spiritual cancer
Traded it in for the traits of a dancer
Ooh, look what you made a girl do
Sex, etcetera

I could've been anything, chained to your fantasy
Favorite accessory, made for a movie scene
Could've been surgery, fixed you mechanically
But where's the respect for me? Where's the humanity?

So I know I
Neglect my intellect
Deflect another ego death

Showing out, showing up, showing I'm forgetting ya
Party lungs, dance, drugs, sex, etcetera
Ooh, look what you made a girl do
She was a hopeless romancer, spiritual cancer
Traded it in for the traits of a dancer
Ooh, look what you made a girl do
Sex, etcetera

Desperate for connection, you're not feeling the love
Now I'm losing your attention, that's a one-two punch
Think, behave in a sentient way
Lost track of my meaning just to get you to stay
Some kind of pseudo-science, I'm on my own damn island
I've got a tourist passing through, so I pick up the night shift
Now here I go again
When will the cycle end?
Call me a liar as I recommend

Showing out, showing up, showing I'm forgetting ya
Party lungs, dance, drugs, sex, etcetera
Ooh, look what you made a girl do
She was a hopeless romancer, spiritual cancer
Traded it in for the traits of a dancer
Ooh, look what you made a girl do
Sex, etcetera

Sex-ex-ex-ex-ex, etcetera
Sex-ex-ex-ex-ex, etcetera
Sex-ex-ex-ex-ex, etcetera (Ooh)
(Ooh) Etcetera, etcetera
