I know you deceived me, couldn't sleep last night
Now my tear stains on the wall reflect an ugly sight
I can see your secrets
No need to confess
Everyone looks naked when you know the world's address
The world's address
A place that's worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
I'll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed
The world's address
Life's parade of fashion just leaves me depressed
Under every garment I can see the world's address
Call the men of science and let them hear this song
Tell them Albert Einstein and Copernicus were wrong
The world's address
A place that's worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
I'll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed
The world's address
Call the men of science and let them hear this song
Tell them Albert Einstein and Copernicus were wrong
The world's address
A place that's worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
I'll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed
The world's address
A place that's worn
A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
I'll say it one more time for those who may not have already guessed
The world's address

Here are the lyrics to the Joshua Fried Remix:
Buddy, you wanna give me a 10-9 on this thing then?
Buddy, you wanna give me a 10-9 on this thing then?
Buddy, you wanna give me a 10-9 on this thing then?
Buddy, you wanna give me a 10-9 on this thing then?
Someone in the club tonight has stolen my ideas

A sad pun that reflects a sadder mess
I'll repeat it for those who may not have already guessed

Feel free to raise your hand at any moment
