Laplace’s Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!) Lyrics

Have you ever died in a nightmare

Woke up surprised you hadn't earned your fate

Have you ever felt like Atlas, threw your back out on the axis, and

Collapsed and threw the planet away

Everyone's just blood in an ice tray

A vampire picking flowers out in the sun

Run your diagnostic tests, it's posited nobody dies agnostic

But we still dial 9-1-1

And now we're singing

Ooh

Could you take a look at me

Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad?

Now we're singing

Ooh

Whatever you think of me

If you were in my shoes

You'd walk the same damn miles I do

We're only tuning to the tone of the bell curve now

Ask not for whom it tolls

But with my head up in the clouds I can see so much ground

And from up here you look like ants in a row

It doesn't take a killer to murder

It only takes a reason to kill

We've all got evidence of innocence, it's 'everything's coincidence' the

Difference twixt fate and free will is whether you're singing

Ooh

Could you take a look at me

Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad?

Now we're singing

Ooh

Whatever you think of me

If you were in my shoes

You'd walk the same damn miles I do

Oh-oh

Right

So if you wash your hands of where you've been until you flood the second floor

Neatly fold your skeletons but still can't shut the closet door

The only ones in need of love are those who don't receive enough

So evil ones should get a little more

You

Could you take a look at me

Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad

And now we're singing

Ooh

Whatever you think of me; if the shoe fits would you walk that mile

You could put it on the other foot, it's the same size

You

Could you take a look at me

Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad

We're singing

Whatever you think of me

If you were in my shoes

You'd see I wear the same size as you
