[Verse 1]
Everybody loves me tonight
Everybody thinks this is pretty cool
Maybe pretty happening
Out of sight

[Chorus 1]
To get on board the hip train
We all need our idolatry
We gotta foster some illusion
Confusion, fallacy, fantasy

[Verse 2]
Everybody hated my guts yesterday
Woe is me
I had gone
And made the worst of all possible mistakes

[Chorus 2]
I failed to get on board the hip train
I didn't sleep around, I didn't do cocaine
Now I know why we've got pop culture
We all need to feel one up on the others

[Bridge]
When the light goes down
On this seething little town
Truth lies face-down
Truth lies face-down
[Verse 3]
Everybody wants to be my friend
Except all of those who never ever were
Or ever even remotely might have been

[Chorus 3]
You gotta get on board the hip train
Just fork over your deposit
Shed my skin and jump right in
To the emperor's clothes closet

[Verse 4]
Ain't no saint
Ain't no prophet
Ain't no angel
Ask my wife about it

[Chorus 1]
Get on board the hip train
We all need our idolatry
Need to foster some illusion
Confusion, fallacy, fantasy

[Bridge]
When the light goes down
On this seething little town
Truth lies face-down
Truth lies face-down
Truth lies face-down, no, oh
Truth lies face-down
Truth lies face-down, no, oh
Truth lies face-down
[Outro]
Everybody loves me, everybody hates me
Everybody loves me, everybody hates me
Everybody loves me, everybody hates me
Everybody loves me, everybody hates me
