Snapped the wire of a crackling sound.
Didn’t notice ’til I tasted blood in my mouth.
I wasn’t trying to freak you out.
I’ll be leaving now.
Bought the rights to get us numb.
Thought to ruckus might just lend us a little fun.
A ten-cent piece of chewing gum—
I’ll eventually calm down.
You didn’t ask,
didn’t care,
can’t go there.
Placing bets on making moves.
Lord, you’re bored, impatient and I guess my money’s on you.
The table folds, you can’t find your shoes.
Will I still be home by two?
You didn’t ask,
didn’t care,
can’t go there.
