Sheetkickers Lyrics
Cover your eyes, the light is too bright
Your wisemen, they tell you lies
And what's worse - they curse
But still I love the bite
Like flies or maybe mothmen
As they're attracted to the light - they realize
The night has come to baptize
And they will finally realize
And what's worse - it hurts
But still they love the bite
And I would like to die with you
I'd like to try but I'm not suicide
And I would like to kill you
But that would suit you fine, I realize
And I will not disgrace myself
By chasing you around to pull you back
And I will not give in an inch
You win before the fight begins
But it's o.k. - I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
Cover your eyes
The light is too bright
Your wisemen, they tell you lies
And what's worse - they curse
But still I love the bite
Like flies or maybe mothmen
As they're attracted to the light - they realize
The night has come to baptize
And they will finally realize
And what's worse - it hurts
But still they love the bite
I'd like to try but I'm not suicide
And I would like to kill you
But that would suit you fine, I realize
And I will not disgrace myself
By chasing you around to pull you back
And I will not give in an inch
You win before the fight begins
But it's o.k. - I'm over you
I'm over you
I'm over you
The light is too bright

plus it has a kick-ass atonal solo, rivaling Magazine's "Permafrost" or Gang of Four's "Cheeseburger"...or even "Don't Call Home" by Dayton's own Breeders.
Ultimate breakup song, imo. Too bad it wasn't anything near being a hit. It sure as hell could've been.
