Sad and silly I don’t how to say it
Paper stacks and my pickaxe growing heavy
The singing screen I just can’t bear
You’re no good to me over there
I need you here I need you all my own
You are like the cigarettes that kill me
Way up here the world don’t seem to heavy
Vodka drinks and too much sex
Television, no regrets
A dream of yours, a dream that’s all our own
When I’m done with all my riffs and all my rants
I will be ready to drop the beat and do nothing but dance
Spelling out the phrases as I say it
Bodies in the way God knows how you met me
The Middle East or Africa
China, South America
I’ll take you, I’ll take you anywhere
You will drive the ambulance to save me
Foot on the gas and the siren wailing steady
Broken bones and a shattered spleen
A weary heart dies inside me
Bring me back, bring me back to life
When I’m done with all my riffs and all my rants
I will be ready to drop the beat and do nothing but dance
I will go anywhere just not on my own
And I will go anywhere just not on my own
Just not on my own
Just not on my own, no, no, no, no
When I’m done with all my riffs and all my rants
I will be ready to drop the beat and do nothing but dance
Drop the beat and do nothing but dance
