Take the keys
They're lying on the table
It's as if they were waiting all along
Like they knew when to expect
Trouble
It's like they're calling now
'Cause trouble's come
And you'll be going now
You know there's nothing left here for you to chew on
Ready to take the heat
Maybe to take a beating
There won't be no good choice to make where you're going tonight
So at least pick your fight
Ignite
Okay
I get it
You wanna get it?
So get to it now
Alright
It's your call
It's your life
Now shut up & drive
You'll have to move faster than sound
If you don't wanna go down, face to the ground
Alright
Bring it on
Now c'mon
Now shut up & drive
Such rosy cheeks
Such a lovely mouth
Such perfect teeth
Such a lovely pout
Red lipstick, black leather
That fire in your stare won't keep yourself at bay forever
Roll down the windows
Let danger flood in
Till it's thick in the air
Till you figure it all out
Your good looks won't save you tonight
So at least pick your fight
What made you think it would be that easy?
What made you think it would feel that right?
Okay
I get it
You wanna get it?
It's your call
It's your life
You'll have to move faster than sound
If you don't wanna go down, face to the ground
Alright
Bring it on
Now c'mon
Shut up & drive
I'll always remember her
Red lipstick, black leather
She nearly ran me over
And not even moments later
Asked me for a smoke & a lighter
I never said a word, just stared at her
When she said:
'Go on, take a picture, it lasts longer, asshole'
Make no mistake
I know you're not much of a troublemaker
You're just taking your troubles out for a stroll
I'm sure you thought it would be that easy
I'm sure you thought it would quench that fire
But it takes more than breaking speed limits
To get away from yourself, girl
Okay
I get it
You wanna get it?
Well get to it now
Alright
It's your call
It's your life
Now shut up & drive
Drive

Sing, my mermaid,
My beautiful mermaid
Eyes of a blue
Richer than the waves crashing above you
Hair dyed with the reddest corals in the seven seas
Sing for me
My dear mermaid
May the air we share
Carry your melodies to me
And swell your proud bosom
My lovely, round-bottomed
Mermaid
I thank the gods who let you have
These last few inches of perfect skin down your back
Mermaid
Sing me your song
Teach me how to swim
How to breathe where you can
And I'll follow you to the bottom of the ocean
I'll sink like a stone
I swear I'll jump
I swear I'll drown
I swear
If that's what you want from me

I'm about to tell you a story
The story of a girl I met
On a very trivial New Year's Eve night
Well, except maybe for the fact that it was supposed to be the last
Otherwise, a very trivial story
For a not so very trivial girl
Once you got to know her, at least
You'll get nothing from me, she said
I'm ok with what I'm getting, I said
I should've kept my mouth shut
But to kiss her
She had the biggest eyes I've ever seen
With a low set voice and hairy arms
But the silkness of her skin
Made up for everything
She had her hair done nice
And a dress that wouldn't stop falling off her tiny breasts
She had warm hands
Her fingernails were clipped short
Just a semblance of makeup
And a fresh, tasteless mouth
Lips a bit dry, maybe
Well then, why the hell did she think she had to sleep with a bra on?
You'll get nothing from me, she said
I'm ok with what I'm getting, I said
I should've kept my mouth shut
But to kiss her
Her entourage
Somewhat lacked finesse
And her age
A higher first digit
Oh, but how I would've loved to see her tap-dancing, though
I'm pretty sure
A bed without sheets or pillows
Wouldn't stop us (They wouldn't stop us)
Any place would do
I'm pretty sure it would be worth
A couple of sleepless nights
Even a couple of trudging days
Wouldn't knock the smile off my face
You know what?
Next time I'm cramming the two of us in the same sleeping bag anyways
Aim for the one with the glasses, get the one with a mask
Drag the feathery crow under the mistletoe
Your heart beats like a drum, your whole body feels so numb
No hidden agenda, just a fit of nostalgia
No kidding
Sorry but I keep forgetting how to play
I guess I'll see you in tomorrow's haze
