lyrics

I’ve been having a hard time lately trying to find my place
Every time I leave the house I feel like I’m in outer space
I look around and all I see are spray-painted smiles on walls
I’m sick to death of all the social cues, my face is about to fall off

From keeping up appearances
The truth is I prefer to be alone
Keeping up appearances
If you need me leave a message on my phone

I don’t remember a ballot on the issue down at the election hall
Or maybe it was one of those fine-print deals where they trick you into passing the law
Either way it’s a contagious disease, no one says what they mean anymore
I caught myself saying yes to a vacuum cleaner salesman who came to the door

I was keeping up appearances
And I just bought a brand new vacuum last year
But keeping up appearances
Somebody please get me out of here

I saw a snowflake pure and naked, it was a masterpiece
It melted in a pile of caked on makeup as it landed on a lady’s cheek
What an awful way to leave this world

On someone keeping up appearances
I’m not trying to make any enemies
But keeping up appearances
I just wish that things were what they seemed
Instead of these appearances
