"Centerfold" lyrics

Straight outta Hollywood they tiptoe; yea they make it up as they go
While you're burning out the engine and you're running from the ending
Take down the bottle from the top shelf
Pour a little bit of self help
You've been burning out the engine, always running from the ending

If falling apart is beautiful we keep hanging art up on the walls
I'll be your muse — your centerfold
You'll be the truth I never told

Is it taboo to talk about the closet and the skeletons they keep inside?
Like a tattoo, yea you wear your scarlet letter with a smile and a sense of pride
Caught in the middle of hope and sending up signals in smoke

Straight outta Hollywood they tiptoe; yea they make it up as they go
While you're burning out the engine and you're running from the ending
Take down the bottle from the top shelf
Pour a little bit of self help
You've been burning out the engine, always running from the ending

If falling apart is beautiful we keep hanging art up on the walls
I'll be your muse — your centerfold
You'll be the truth I never told

Shake away the cobwebs, dear
Chase the rabbit down in the hole and run
Fate, it might be what brought us here
But hate might be what brings it all undone

Life lost its magic when
I had some time alone to think
But the hardest part was after
I just had more time alone to think
Yea
I got caught up in a shakedown with an old and familiar foe
It's a feeling
I hope that you never know
I hit the bottom, landed facedown; sentimental underneath the glow
Hit the lights, let the credits roll
Take your time
Let it find you

Straight outta Hollywood they tiptoe; yea they make it up as they go
While you're burning out the engine and you're running from the ending
Take down the bottle from the top shelf
Pour a little bit of self help
You've been burning out the engine, always running from the ending

If falling apart is beautiful we keep hanging art up on the walls
I'll be your muse — your centerfold
You'll be the truth I never told
