(Going, Going, Gone)
Still hooked on cellophane, hangin' round the mall and all.
Each penny numbs the pain, sends you gently for the fall
I followed you last night,
I saw you turn your lights out
I knew it wasnt right,
I watched in fear and doubt
It's gotten to be that way
(Going, Going, Gone)
What did you do today?
(Going, Going, Gone)
Look good in that red dress,
I bet the boyfriend's happy
Your face is scarred with age,
You're 23, but how can that be?
You're still hooked on cellophane, killing time with gin and lime
Each second numbs the pain, love's just another rhyme.
It's gotten to be that way
(Going, Going, Gone)
I'm scared but I'm okay
(Going, Going, Gone)
There's nowhere to move on
There's nowhere to move on
All I see, yeah yeah
All I see
All I see, yeah yeah
All I see
All I see, yeah yeah
All I see is me everywhere
It's me doo doo doo doo doo
doo doo
Still hooked on cellophane, hangin' round the mall and all.
Each penny numbs the pain, sends you gently for the fall
I followed you last night,
I saw you turn your lights out
I knew it wasnt right,
I watched in fear and doubt
It's gotten to be that way
(Going, Going, Gone)
What did you do today?
(Going, Going, Gone)
Look good in that red dress,
I bet the boyfriend's happy
Your face is scarred with age,
You're 23, but how can that be?
You're still hooked on cellophane, killing time with gin and lime
Each second numbs the pain, love's just another rhyme.
It's gotten to be that way
(Going, Going, Gone)
I'm scared but I'm okay
(Going, Going, Gone)
There's nowhere to move on
There's nowhere to move on
All I see, yeah yeah
All I see
All I see, yeah yeah
All I see
All I see, yeah yeah
All I see is me everywhere
It's me doo doo doo doo doo
doo doo

It took a while, but this song finally grew on me. It's now one of my favorites, though it still creeps me out sometimes with the whole stalker vibe, but I like y'all explanations of it. I didn't know it was Emily Haines singing, but it's true Stars is part of the gigantic Venn Diagram that is the Canadian Indie music scene, so it's not too hard to believe. Her and Amy sound really similar though.
