Both of us said
When we're both good and dead
We'd never get buried, we'd never get married, we'd never change back
Clear as a mug, when you were right I gave you credit
But I wanted to have shook my finger harder in your face
No makes me bet on a different number
No makes me count on a different hand
Smiling through what you're eating upside down
That's what I asked for
After the mess was a total success
We filled it with poison, we filled it with poison, we killed it good
I don't need a map to be sure to be certain
That you're out there setting fires and throwing sand all over everyone
No makes me count on a different finger
No makes me bet on a different hand
Smiling through what you're eating upside down
That's what I asked for
