This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I dreamt of something last night in my sleep
I saw you sitting in a room without me
You were smiling
And you had a tattoo of me,
In a room without you
[Chorus]
I aim my cannon at you ready or not
You're gonna feel my pain, like it or not
You've got your debts to pay
And you are one of mine
You're down and out of time
Then, there is something I wanted to say
A simple rhythm I forgot how to play
I want to tell you
That I've called off the dogs
Your mystery is not worth being solved
[Chorus: x2]
I want to tell you that I've called off the dogs
Your mystery is not worth being solved
I saw you sitting in a room without me
You were smiling
And you had a tattoo of me,
In a room without you
[Chorus]
I aim my cannon at you ready or not
You're gonna feel my pain, like it or not
You've got your debts to pay
And you are one of mine
You're down and out of time
Then, there is something I wanted to say
A simple rhythm I forgot how to play
I want to tell you
That I've called off the dogs
Your mystery is not worth being solved
[Chorus: x2]
I want to tell you that I've called off the dogs
Your mystery is not worth being solved
