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)
