    I finally see the light

    Down on the east side

    Wasted like a memory

    If I had a car I''d drive

    Straight off the bridge into the river, it would empty me



    Pretty pictures in a magazine

    Everybody is so make believe, it''s true

    I used to be sad

    Now I''m just bored with you

    You''re doomed to repeat the past

    ''Cause nothing is gonna last

    I burned all of your photographs



    Traffic sings the songs

    Inviting me in to dodge the bullets from an empty gun

    If I had a car I''d drive straight into the window of a bank I owed money to



    Pretty pictures in a magazine

    Everybody is so make believe, it''s true

    I used to be sad

    Now I''m just bored with you

    You''re doomed to repeat the past

    ''Cause nothing is gonna last

    I burned all of your photographs



    And all the time you''re so unhappy

    And everything to you''s so heavy

    But oh my word, ain''t you pretty now

    There''s nothing to make up now

    No one to wake up now

    She''s starting to break up

    WOW



    Pretty pictures in a magazine

    Everybody is so make believe, it''s true

    I used to be sad

    Now I''m just bored with you

    You''re doomed to repeat the past

    ''Cause nothing is gonna last

    I burned all of your photographs
