And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces Heart it races And we go back to where we moved out to the places Heart it races I bought it in a can and stirred it with my fingers singing Boom dah dah dah dah dah Boom dah dah dah dah Threw it out the window And lately you been tanned, suspicious for the winter with your Boom dah dah dah dah dah Boom dah dah dah dah Legs like little splinters
And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces Heart it races And we go back to where we moved out to the places Heart it races I sold it to a man and threw him out the window He went Boom dah dah dah dah dah Boom dah dah dah dah Made his wife a widow

A wicked decision We can agree A wicked decision Nothing's wrong with you and me
A week in the forest A week in the fog You'll be sad to hear that I I I I I was robbed
And we're gonna own it A fist to the voice And we've found the music Why did you try at the choice?
And decapitation for failing to see Nothing in this whole wide world saves us from this situation [Nothing can save us]
Don't stop talkin' to me please baby cut me all to pieces If you really want hell, hell Ripped apart by the crows not the vultures No one in this fair new world can talk us through this situation
Speak in the garden You burn down the trees I'll leave out the teasin' while you are down on one knee
Never is heavy and heavy is fine but only in the street man you ate your words wrong this time
It's wicked where you tread Shot an arrow in your head Since the apple wasn't there, yeah. Ripped apart by the crows and the vultures Ignore me in the parking lot I'm petrified by conversation.
It's wicked where you tread They shot an arrow at your head Since the apple wasn't there, yeah. We're ripped apart by the crow and the vultures Ignore me in the parking lot I'm petrified by conversation.
Maybe you can owe me? Or should we wait and see? 'Cause I've been saving up for something we need, As long as you're open to the possibility, yeah.
Surely, there's a story in counting all the minutes 'til July the 1st, But you counted all the seconds and it made you feel worse, I don't wanna be here, You just wanna be there, But it's awful complicated and you're warning me to beware.
And honey, there's no hurry, I know it's overdue there's a key to the door, To the room where I'm staying, You can sleep on the floor, Half way through the night can we talk and see? 'Cause there's no way that I'll sleep when you're near me
Choke, choking on a wishbone in the firing line of lovers who will never slow down And I won't let you steer, commandeer the atmosphere, since you suggested running away (Romantic)
Hit the redial, maybe we should sigh a while, save our second wind for sentimental warm weather Four forever, two together, we'll play dead, we'll play dead! We'll play deadly
Should we make believe you remember me from a holiday delayed by a storm? Should we chance our arms' alarms set to high noon until the shiver in the river is gone?
Hope, hoping you might whistle, get all dizzy, 'cuz I found the reason why you're around If I locate the fear, talk you through the tangles, can you chase me till you my feet touch the ground? (And go dancing)
Tambourine style, walking in a single file You whisper half thoughts to me
Should we make believe you remember me from a holiday delayed by a storm? Should we chance our arms' alarms set to high noon until the shiver in the river is gone?
Tonight the neon answers flare, Occasionally we stop and stare past tiny paintings, Painted where all the clouds were wrong, With killer stares and sideways frowns, In keeping with, the universe all upside down. Twice, twice, twice. And broken legs and arms in slings, You cry secretly. You won't wear my diamond rings. Why? Why? Why?
A billion cares, a thousand stings we lie frequently, Choose the chapter where they start fights, fights, fights. And millionaires have bought this town and changed everything. I found you in the lost and found, White, white, white!
Just yesterday, I was walking on the moon with your stalker And we talked about love and all the battles we'd won A permanent malaise prevented us from hiding our fortunes So we left them bare for all the natives to see
One of two things we should have but never did One of two things we should have but never did
Slender is the finger Points towards the flaw Offers you an excuse To be on all fours
One of two things we should have but never did One of two things we should have but never did
