I know what you think
This happens to other girls
You stand at the sink
You pin up your hair in curls

But you've got to admit (oh)
That the membrane is thin (oh)
So you patch where it's split (oh)
With your hairspray and pin (oh)
And that's the last thing holding you in
The universe's delicate skin

I know what you think (I know this won't be love)
This never could be my fate
As you're sipping your drink (you sip and signal)
And signaling to your date

They don't give you a lot
But you're sure it's enough
'Cause god help you if not
You're not calling that bluff
You're strong, but lord, who's really that tough
You're not made of such unbreakable stuff

So you fall
Bit by bit, is all
You fall

And that's the last thing holding you in
The universe's delicate skin

So you fall
Bit by bit, is all
You fall
