Mika - Rio lyrics

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 play
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 goodbye 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 can only be myself as somebody else

Cause you got sun, I got bad weather
Anything you can lose I can lose better
Do 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 goodbye 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 burn it up twice
I roll thirteen on a pair of dice
Give me a peanut and I'll turn blue
I can't even eat the things you do
Bake you a cake and I burn it up twice
I roll thirteen on a pair of dice

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