I watched a movie depicting my life And I skipped all the parts I knew I wouldn't With every mistake that I learned to deny I knew I won't be getting out without a fight I read a book of biographers' texts So enthralled and afraid of what would come next Skimmed over the words that I thought would affect All these choices convinced me that I was correct I cast myself out alone Into the bed of the known And I don't really know if I'll ever get home But I'd rather not know than miss out on the show I'd rather not know than miss out on the show There is a play that I thought I would like About a man that would struggle and lie to survive I changed the script and I improvised lines I am convinced that my choices were right I read an article written with flair Taking liberties with all the facts that were there And though history always proves to be unfair I am convinced that the real won't care I cast myself out alone Into the bed of the known And I don't really know if I'll ever get home But I'd rather not know than miss out on the show I'd rather not know than miss out on the show I cast myself out alone Into the bed of the known And I don't really know if I'll ever get home But I'd rather not know than miss out on the show I'd rather not know than miss out on the show
