Rio

Mika

Oh, here I go again
I wake up every morning to this Groundhog Day.
Thinking about the list of things that I've done wrong 
Can't even count, it goes on too long. 

I try to change my ways 
I feel like I'm the villain in some crappy day 
The book has long been written 
But I'd rather be just about anyone else but me 
I hope you see. 

It doesn't mean I'm not a fighter 
It's just that I wanna be a little lighter
Spent so long fixing things I've done.
I've got holes in all my pockets 
Even those holes, they've got pockets. 
Hiding things that'll never see the sun. 

I'm taking off 
Going to Rio 
I'm getting lost to find an alter ego 
It could be Paris or Berlin 
I don't care what state I'm in 
Gonna leave it all behind. 
Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else

This is not an invitation 
I'm going to Rio 
This is not a conversation 
Say good-bye to me, oh 

Maybe in ten years time, 
You'll receive a letter from some random guy 
You'll like him so much better, but then you will see, 
He's not a stranger it's only me. 

I could only be myself 
As somebody else. 

'Cause you got sun, I got bad weather 
Anything you can lose, I can lose better
Did my best with what life gave to me. 
I've got holes in all my pockets, 
Even those holes, they've got pockets
Hiding things that I sure want to leave. 

I'm taking off
Going to Rio 
I'm getting lost to find an alter ego
It could be Paris or Berlin 
I don't care what state I'm in
Gonna leave it all behind 
Maybe I'll be myself when I'm somebody else 

This is not an invitation 
I'm going to Rio 
This is not a conversation 
Say good-bye to me, oh 

Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue 
I can't even eat the things you do 
Bake you a cake, and I'll burn it up twice
I roll thirteen on a pair of dice. 

Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue
