You heard me up last night Shook the tree and watched the birds fly up and out Pulled the trigger on the bullseye Little starlings dropping like flies Wish I'd pick on someone my own size It's just the way that I was raised to scream and shout I'm always rooting for the bad guy Took the shotguns out of the house
I know I'm freaking you out but I'm pushing it down
I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep I'm too busy dreaming about you And you, ooh-ooh, won't hold me when I'm weak I know I'm too much to hold onto So let it die
I made you cry last night Poor little oiseaux upon the lawn A living nightmare landmine Flashing lights warned Beware of dog I don't know what you want from me Speaking acrostic You take the worst of me? I find that hard to believe when You keep your car unlocked In case you need to flee When I let the dark get dark Until it swallows me whole
I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep I'm too busy dreaming about you And you, ooh-ooh, won't hold me when I'm weak I know I'm too much to hold onto I, I, I don't wanna fall asleep I'm too busy dreaming about you And you, ooh-ooh, won't hold me when I'm weak I know I'm too much to hold onto So let it die
