1.Verse:

                                           
funny you swear you got nowhere special to go
               		      
but I know you will, before too long
					
always there, standing there
			     
staring at the hole in the robe
                                  
like it was a place somebody would go


1.Chorus:
                   ()?             
con-fusion is king, the talk of your town
			  		   	
with the hollywood design, knowing everyone
	               
would you cover mine?


2.Verse:
					  
you spoke softer than anybody i ever heard
				     
softer than the vel-vet in your hair 
						   
tying back black laughin' back (?), black as a bird
    				         		  
i live in a cage, and i could take you there


2.Chorus:
    	  		()?           
con-fusion is king, the talk of your town
			      
streets, i'm living with the pain
		     	                 	 
this is what you see always looking down


3.Verse:
					     
hanging out, let her (?) can't tell how to behave
		     		      
with her on the stage i hear your serm (?)
                                               
animals painted in the dark on the walls of the cage
                          
pictures i wish you just forget


3.Chorus:
                    ()?         
con-fusion is king, the talk of your town
                                          
I don't know if you care the meaning of the word
		         
maybe just yourself


4.Verse:
                                                     
little things trigger big problems you can wipe out a stain 
                              
maybe i destroy what makes you sad
         				                       
if you're rid of so many minds buried that you never relay
                                       
until your body's numb and it's all too bad


4.Chorus:
                   ()?           
con-fusion is king, the talk of the town

                   	                   
i don't know how to speak it
		          
i don't know how to help you
	                
i'll just be around
                   
i don't know how to speak
	              
i don't know how to help
                    
i'll just be around

i think it is not exactly right...but it sounds near to the "La Zona Rosa, Austin 5-6-00"-recording
