lyrics

So where is my shiny bright collar
And you're selling my clothes at the door
Oh I'm not seeing straight it's scary
Well I guess I'll just wait till I'm bored

Yes I'm unhappy
But I love your sounds
Well shit it's not working
The ship's going down

I couldn't say, with each coming day
A sermon that means anything
If we could shout, and spit in my mouth
Well would our friends care if we sing

Diabolically I'm on fire
And I'm ready to sleep now baby
Well we fucked but there's something still ringing
Sucked by the lips that you gave me

So who's on tonight
Is the race going strong
Well I hear there's a rematch
At the end of this song

I couldn't say, with each coming day
A sermon that means anything
If we could shout, and spit in my mouth
Would our friends care if we sing

Four years 'round my neck
Four years 'round my waist
Oh the shit I'd do
For just one more taste

I couldn't say, with each coming day
A sermon that means anything
If we could shout, spit in my mouth
Would our friends care if we sing

Oh if we sing
If we sing
Oh if we sing
