Naked in the bathtub Sittin' on the porcelain Waiting for that little hurricane to pull your torso in The water don't run, just drips like rain Still drips like a painkiller drips to the veins Fill it up With a bag of that happy stuff Cuz the way she runs out, you can tell she ain't had enough Good times goddess My goodness Got finger nail polish autopilot foot prints With a smile that's stitched to the fabric of bedtime tales and Keep them kids out of the attic The mouth of madness Loud and manic The motive of the bird holding south on the atlas Picture a hole Put your hero in Envision the gold Now zero in Been watching your night train track for the last few stops With no desire to hop it How did we end up in your apartment Pocket full of gossip says this ain't smart When it's all said and done, can't get restart But I'll be damned if I don't wanna kiss you-- Hard (chorus) Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you I've got a restraining order Against Satan's daughter And I keep it at the bottom of this Jameson and water And when we get there You can sit there and stare From behind your mascara and your thick hair I'm aware of that pain you harbor The same negative game to the names you martyr Apart from the details and substance and whatnot That hunger of love pistol and gut rot Bloodshot Give me one shot, my shot Hopped up on enough talk to make time stop The lines of chalk that benjamin might cop Killed the illustrations on the neighborhood sidewalks Then all of a sudden she got silent Pupils like marbles, hide behind the eyelids Get away sticks go limping hole place The smile sucked up most of her face Truly you beat the scene so surreal And each criticism becomes redeemed Swallow my words No more judgment it's true Cuz you look like what I feel like when I'm with you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you Shoulda known better not to f**k wit' you Ain't got nothin' but too much to lose Lost in the rush don't know what to do That drug got you like I want you
