[Verse 1]
Fluorescent lighting, three stores left
So inviting, climb in bed
Old women walking to past the time
Guess their intentions look a lot like mine

[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed

[Verse 2]
Manic dreams in two thousand and eight
Waking nightmare, United States
White picket fences, too big to fail
Guess that will take us straight to hell

[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed

[Bridge]
Laying in my bed, in sheets somеbody suffered for
Decaying's for thе best
Pretending's such ghastly chore
I don't quite know why
But the only place I find a little morbid harmony
In the backroom mall security

[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed
