lyrics

You've got your hands over your head like you mean to strike me dead, or at least hurt my feelings, leave me reeling. You didn't think before you got yourself in this position. You're just unlucky, you never had a superstition. And no, I won't quiet down, in fact I think I'll alert the town that this is something you try, hoping I'd be intimidated or die. It didn't fall the way you'd hoped it would, we're never going to be all good. Tell me what you think about that.

The wind is flat, but it's going to rise soon. The sun's going to shine down on you like high noon. The rain will follow, wet as a monsoon, and you'll be exposed. And no, I won't quiet down, in fact I think I'll alert the town that this is something you try, hoping I'd be intimidated or die. It didn't fall the way you'd hoped it would, we're never going to be all good. Tell me what you think about that.

Why should I lower the decibels, when to do so would only leave me in hell? I see no point in misery at least not without company. You're going to have to tell how feels.

You've got your hands over your head, it's now too late to strike me dead, 'cause everyone's looking and I don't think they like what you're cooking. If you tried to serve it to them, you'd be in it all the way up to your hems and tracking it everywhere.

And now I won't quiet down, in fact I think I'll alert the town that this is something you trt, hoping I'd be intimidated or die. It didn't fall the way you'd hoped it would, we're never going to be all good. Tell me what you think about that.
