Safe in the dark of our desperation home in the sheets stranded and stark in our best intentions all that we need you say that its been night forever like some midwinter's dream but even the darkest parts were never as hopeless as they seemed We always Handled all we could bite off candid and wild with the lights off scan the radio--it's playing us out but you said hold on tight when you found it and throw your life around it and the rest of the world will work itself out Circled by sharks and the water's cold and lonely but criss cross your heart when it gets bad you're gonna hold on to me I'm saying things can only go better downhill and easy street so quit playing like you didn't know better 'cause baby you and me We always Handled all we could bite off candid and wild with the lights off scan the radio--it's playing us out but you said hold on tight when you found it and throw your life around it and the rest of the world will work itself out You be the instigator I'll take the blame you be the complicator I'll say it plain yeah you're sexy concentrated you say the same well get down and consummate it yeah We always Handled all we could bite off candid and wild with the lights off scan the radio--it's playing us out but you said hold on tight when you found it and throw your life around it and the rest of the world will work itself out

I'd like to see what you see in me Why you don't know I'm playing out of my league How do I find your state of mind? See past the fact that I'm a waste of your time But I'm something else when you're around Someone that's worth a damn, somebody who counts Awkward and shy, sure Vulgar and crass? Yes But I'm hilarious when I make you laugh. 'Cause when I touch you I'm strong When you kiss me I'm gorgeous like you When everything I do is wrong, you agree And I get to be right too. If I don't see you today There may be hell to pay Just different kinds of gray Why even stay awake? Fumbling for competence When so few things make sense The brush of your hair and the stare in your eyes 'Cause when I touch you I'm strong When you kiss me I'm gorgeous like you When everything I do is wrong, you agree And I get to be right too. Love you to the letter Sure you could do better But please spend the meantime with me Maybe I'll be worth it Might even deserve it At the rate you're rubbing off on me Songs from cacophony. 'Cause when I touch you I'm strong When you kiss me I'm gorgeous like you When everything I do is wrong, you agree And I get to be right too.

Your girl, she think of me When you do what you're doing Trying desperately, she knows you try so hard But she thinks of me When she closes her eyes Who do you think she sees Your girl, she's done lots of things Things you'd rather not know and Lies incessantly to keep you in the dark About the kind of things That get her shaking her thighs Who's tongue she speaking in? I'll give you a guess Your girl, she thinks of me When you do what you're doing Teeth sinking in, she'll take you for a ride But sneaking in, a thought or two of yours truly Who's name's she shrieking? I know what she likes to hear I know what she likes to say When she mutters in your ear It means you're doing ok But just OK And if you have to ask her afterwards "Baby, did you get there too?" That's a "no." Oh if you ever find her sweet spot, Romeo Trust me, trust me, you're gonna know. Your girl gets these hankerings That have her snapping and drooling Hides it hastily, and her bite's even worse than her bark But thankfully, I've got her fix here--no fooling What do you think she needs? Well, what do you think? Your girl takes tinkering but It aint supposed to be grueling Hot and lingering and she aint cooling down for a while 'Cause she thinks of me when she closes her eyes Who do you think she sees? I know what she likes to hear I know what she likes to say When she mutters in your ear It means you're doing ok But just OK And if you have to ask her afterwards "Baby, did you get there too?" That's a "no." Oh if you ever find her sweet spot, Romeo Trust me, trust me, you're gonna know.

Save your breath, I already made my mind All futility aside Watch your tone I'm gonna take my time Throw a bone to me--I'm trying But tell me When was it said that I was gonna stay in the lines? How did you come to believe that I was gonna let you come in and try and put your spots on a lion Who never said that it was gonna stay in the lines? Save your breath I already changed my mind You got your way again this time Wipe your tears, you aint even prone to crying You're crocodiling me and that's fine But tell me When was it said that I was gonna stay in the lines? How did you come to believe that I was gonna let you come in and try and put your spots on a lion Who never said that it was gonna stay in the lines?
