You feel desensitized
You feel dumb
You wanna word it right
But you're dumb

You're still shakin' it
And not as young
You know you're blowin' it
So hold your tongue

Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
You're pullin' up stakes and leavin'
You're lookin' for somebody to blame

There's been an accident
But no one knows
Get off the little man
Holes in your nose

You're still shakin' it
The bars are closed
You know you're blowin' it
That's how it goes

Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
You're pullin' up stakes and leavin'
You're lookin' for somebody to blame

Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
Lookin' for a place to do it
Send a message to the brain

And I don't want what we've been given
Easy sex and easy livin'
See what's next and see who's taken
Don't wanna check to see who's fakin'

You feel desensitized (x4)

Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
You're pullin' up stakes and leavin'
You're lookin' for somebody to blame

Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
Lookin' for a place to do it
Send a message to the brain

And I don't want what we've been given

A foolish notion (x3)
