If I were a dentist I would pluck your teeth out
so I could keep them; You're a bad-sweet-bad-boy
If I were a chef I would bake the cake
So I could letch in private and do unseen things
to celebrate
But I'm not the one, I'm not the sun, sure as hell am not sunshine
So I, I guess we can leave it at a spyglass
Yeah it's hard being on the outside of your life sometimes
its tough and its rough, but I like what I like
and we were just reflecting on what a star
you were you are you were
But I'm not the one, I'm not the sun, sure as hell am not sunshine
So I, I guess we can leave it at a spyglass
I'm not the one, I'm not the sun,
I'm no remedy, I'm no Susan Kennedy
I'm just a tourist with a camera on a fine day
Making paper aeroplanes, I'm glad we flew those paper aeroplanes
Making new diet plans, I'm glad we flew those paper aeroplanes
Im glad we flew those paper aeroplanes
Im glad we flew those paper aeroplanes
But I'm not the one, I'm not the sun, sure as hell am not sunshine
So I, I guess we can leave it at a spyglass
Im not the one, I'm not the sun
I'm no remedy, I'm no Susan Kennedy
I'm just a tourist with a camera on a fine day.
