Mika - Rio lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
