So why do we go - through all of this again?Your eyes are flutterin' - Such pretty wings.A moth, flyin' into the - Same old flame againIt never ends

So why do we go - Through all this shit againYour eyes are flutterin' - Such pretty wings.A moth flyin' into me -The same old flame againIt never endsIt never endsIt never endsIt never ends

I guess we'll have to moveThe neighborhood is on to usLet's join the little babe'sthrowin' rocks in front of us
Riding on my bicycleI pass my sister on a busLet's take the country road before our parents send for us
Trees keep fallin' at my feetI guess it's time to build a boatMake a raft of our bodiesDo you think that it'll float?What I said was not a joke,But you just licked the envelopeI'm tired of dating, let's elopeBut you just licked the envelope
Three cheers for my parents,Lonely failed experiments!Three cheers for my parents,Lonely failed experiments!

The headlights look like diamondsThe taillights burn like coalsT-tell me how this story endsBefore the fires go cold

All after all now we awareAll after all the time we shareThere's so much fears of world,Types of world.

You wanna be set apart? Burn all of your art Repair the wasteful partI'm a vampire in a forest fire
Hey! we all gotta keep warmHey! we all gotta keep warmDriving towards the storm
Your father was a pervertFace down in the dirtHe taught you how to hurtMy father was a miner who lived in the suburbsLet's live in the suburbsIf I let where I'm from burn I can never return!
My brother reads you and me his new poetryHow embarrassingYour sister pours the gasoline
I'll fix your meals(I'll fix your meals)I'll fix your meals(I'll fix your meals)while your burns heal!
Find a house you don't have to rebuildStone by stone, brick by brick, nail by nail my father never meant to leave me thisMeant to leave me thisLet this love lastI drive too fastSaid I'd return if I'd ever caredBut there's no interstate I find to take me thereTo take me there
