Aimee Mann - It's Not lyrics

I keep going round and round
On the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot
Where something I can't see
Interrupts the current
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
And from behind the screen it
Can look so perfect but, it's not

So here I'm sitting in my car
At the same old stop light
I keep waiting for a change
But I don't know what
So red turns into green turning into yellow
But, I'm just frozen here on
The same old spot
And all I have to do is to press the pedal
But, I'm not no I'm not

People are tricky you can't afford to show
Anything risky anything they don't know
The moment you try well kiss it goodbye

So baby kiss me like a drug
Like a respirator and let me fall into the
Dream of the astronaut
Where I get lost in space
That goes on forever and you make all the
Rest just an afterthought
And I believe it's you who
Could make it better though it's not
No it's not no it's not
