LYRICS:


VERSE:  You know I cpuldn't be me, if it wasn't for you
        I feel like shit and look like plastic, but I'll get through.
        You know it's plain to see what's going to do
        As long as it don't get too drastic, then we can't lose

CHORUS: Don't blame the middleman, come to me
        I'll tell you what I can, all you need
        Cut out the middleman, wait and see yeah

VERSE:  It was you that told me, the aliens had landed
        And it was you that told me, the end had just begun

(CHORUS)

'NEXT BIT': But now we're in this thing together
            You can't escape I've got you trapped deep inside
            You said you'd stay with me forever
            Where are you now when I need you as my alibi?

        You left me all alone, in my hour of need
        I've tried to explain the situation,  but they don't believe me.

(CHORUS)
        Come to me...all you need...wait and see yeah
(CHORUS)
