Lyrics
To say the least it's been a good year for a change
It's guaranteed to last a while
I'll be home once I kill the beast
More and more I can see the blue sky from the trees
And I don't mind the time with you
That's an understatement to say the least
I'll be a good boy instead of...
Messing up the moment
Preparing our demise
Where would I turn if something cruel just took me by surprise
If I've taken you for granted
Then put me in a hole
And cover me up,
I'll be no wiser when all my breath is gone
Now we're holding onto something
Not everyone can see
The batted lids, the turning tides
Warning signs we're on the skids
If it chews you up in the morning
When strangers say hello
We'll arouse some deep desire
Of something we lost a long time ago
Move over now and find a place for us to be
Together through the thick and thin
Like some old fashioned fantasy
And if you push the buttons that will trigger me to feel
I'll give it back with heart intact
Maybe that's not what you expect in the deal
But I've been a good boy instead of....
Messing up the moment
Preparing our demise
Where would I turn if something cruel just took me by surprise
If I've taken you for granted
Then put me in a hole
And cover me up,
I'll be no wiser when all my breath is gone
