Why can’t we rearrange the tectonic plates?
There’s another painted woman at the foot of the stage
Blue eyes, black thighs, you don’t give a damn
As every cheek in this room prepares to give you a hand
Cheap beer and moonlight were never enough
And every time I cried wolf, you had to call my bluff
You’d start to call me more fashionable names
I chipped my teeth on our wedding day
Bang, bang, bang goes the front door
And bang, bang, bang goes my heart to the floor
You’d be a liar if you settled for more
Oh, these are the plights of the ever unsure
If we do this your way, it’ll never be through
We’ve got a lot to say and even less to do
Bloodlust is the ticket and contrition is fraud
You’ll have a hell of a time crawling back to the start
Build me a cradle and make it swing deep
And you can tell all the neighbors that I just went to sleep
You’d be a liar if you settled for less
So just cut off my hands and watch me try to undress
There’s another painted woman at the foot of the stage
Blue eyes, black thighs, you don’t give a damn
As every cheek in this room prepares to give you a hand
And every time I cried wolf, you had to call my bluff
You’d start to call me more fashionable names
I chipped my teeth on our wedding day
And bang, bang, bang goes my heart to the floor
You’d be a liar if you settled for more
Oh, these are the plights of the ever unsure
We’ve got a lot to say and even less to do
Bloodlust is the ticket and contrition is fraud
You’ll have a hell of a time crawling back to the start
And you can tell all the neighbors that I just went to sleep
You’d be a liar if you settled for less
So just cut off my hands and watch me try to undress
