Tragedy keeps the mind off catastrophe
But don't play the fool when you can stand on me
The floods carve out our paths and no one makes a sound
Finding warmth in the clutches of the frozen ground
(She's on)
She's such a sweet girl
(But she's dangerous)
We gotta' spill to build
(It's got to be a thrill)
She's like a groom with no bride
(What's the problem if it ain't midnight?)
Come on in and stay the night
Strokes the engines and returns with a smile
Tension loves an audience every once in a while
And it's how you persuade...
(Kick)
It's the best part of the game
(So kick)
Rebellion in the air
I meet my neighbors with a rope and a prayer
(Hey turn around and come home)
Suicidal dirty talk
(Hey turn around and come home)
It's not a light read on a soft page
(Hey turn around and come home)
It's not a whisper it's a loud rage
(Hey turn around and come home)
Baby rings her own bell rounds on me
And I'm feeling swell and I hunt with ease
I'm a hundred amber lights and the flag lost at sea
Angered by the no-show?
She's got a new sharp elbow
And a jukebox full of deadly sounds
Without alcohol it's not interesting at all
Focus on the hit list and get on with it
Focus on the hit list and get on with it
Stomping down the staircase
Feet kicking in the door
Some kind of hot bot with skinned knees
Ah but you're here to please
Yet I'm the one who don't sleep
So what's it all about?
Seems like I...
Should I see you out?
It's gettin' kinda' late around here
Maybe I should, maybe...
Maybe you should stay
Tortured by playmates barking at the daybreak
Get me a rifle and a box of shot
Hear the timbers crack as the roof come off
Hear the rumble of thunder as the shadows take to the hills
Love's obscene and so serene
But it's just a tease
I find no release
