Make Believe Lyrics by David McCormack

Little Murders

2009

I was hangin' out with Cio-Cio San
She was pretendin' she could understand
All the people in the motherland
Waitin' for the astronauts to return
She said goodbye and she got off the bus
Man, the rest of that afternoon was tough
But that's okay, I still got all of her stuff, and
Somewhere I heard a mobile phone ringin'
And she said, "David, I think you waited way too long"

She said, "It's all just make believe
Thought I'd better let you know
She's just a facsimile"
Yeah, but it's better than bein' alone
It's better than bein' alone

Thumb suckin' at three am
You'll catch a cold in what you're wearin'
Out here where the buses don't run, I
I filled up on kerosene
So give me somethin', babe, that I can use
Firecrackers and matches too
Maybe it's mercury, maybe it's chrome, but
I'm no good left here all on my own
And she said "David, I think you wasted all your time"

She said, "It's only make believe
Thought I'd better let you know
She's just a facsimile
Of someone that I used to know"
You know, I don't know why
You know, I don't know why
You know, I don't know why
You know, I don't know
She said, "It's only make believe"
I said, "It's better than bein' alone
It's better than bein' alone"

Hey, maybe we can just pretend
She said, "It's only make believe
Thought I'd better let you know
She's just a facsimile
Of someone that I used to know"
You know, I don't know why
You know, I don't know why
You know, I don't know why
You know, I don't know
She said, "It's only make believe"
I said, "It's better than bein' alone
It's better than bein' alone"
