Get and Give.

See him for the time his head was lit like a light
Flying high for nowhere just to see him up all night
Dropping to the table like the world's at it's end
Didn't take very long to snap where it won't bend

See all I get and give for noticing this thing
An endles line of kn-kn-kn-knowing more than me
See all I get and give for noticing this boy
A sticky face of hate me, a big dose of annoy

His buddies go along, taking steps like they talk
They spew miles of nothing, when it matters they can rock
Speaking like he's alone, and acting just the same
The man I saw miles away just didn't fit his name

See all I get and give for noticing this thing
An endles line of kn-kn-kn-knowing more than me
See all I get and give for noticing this thing
Half alone and loathing, half l-l-l-loving every sting

spoken:
It happened one day as I was writing this down
A little young man was the talk of the town
Caramelo voice, perfect match for his eyes
Taking up the room without a word to the wise
Speaking like he wasn't, they reacted like he was
A million miles away, all I heard was a buzz
Everywhere I looked people were shouting out his name
All he wanted or he knew was wrapped up in his fame
