hark! the herald angel said to me
where the fuck d'you think you're going now
the party's over this way
oh, but i forgot to bring your shirt
you must think i never had a chance
to wash the stains away

when the smoke is the glass
and you can't relax at all
i can't even hear you cry anymore

so, where did you go again last night
did you think i'd never notice if you
didn't come back home to me?
i don't know how you think we could live
in the same confinement if you don't
pretend to give a shit

when you know it's a lie
but you won't supply the answer
i can hardly even try anymore

don't be afraid of my love
don't hesitate to surrender

when the hints turn to shouts
and no one's about to answer
i don't even question why

watch the gates and close them if you see
anything that constitutes a moving violation
in this town
oh, but i remember you can't dance
how about i take your legs and bind them tight
so you can't walk?

when there's nothing to gain
from sparing with painted faces
you don't even have to try
i don't mind anymore

tell me, do you think i went too far?
did i take you for a ride and leave you
hanging out to dry this time?
oh, but i don't think you understand
when i held you down i swear that you were
always on my mind
