[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Things go wrong when I trust them

In my naïve way, I love them

Like you told me to love them

I abide by man-made rules

[Pre-Chorus]

And I'm a picture of all fools

I have a border of white clues

[Chorus]

I use the formulae

Of every day

In the floods, I stay

And get washed away

[Verse 2]

People talking, nothing

With a reverence in a 'something'

And my heart beats on with indifference

To the lessons of attrition

[Pre-Chorus]

I am a picture of all fools

I have a border of white clues

[Chorus]

I use the formulae

Of every day

In the floods, I stay

And get washed away

Formulae

Of every day

In the floods, I stay

And get washed away, ah yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Formulae

Of every day

In floods, I stay

And get washed away

Formulae

Of every day

In floods, I stay
