lyrics

and i only know who we are when we pray to the gods
of stimulus and response
and show all our teeth when there's blood in the water
and follow the smoke in the air

we're going straight in for the kill now, darling,
we're going straight in for the kill
it's how we get our thrills
it's how you get your thrills
it's how you get your thrills

i asked her what she said as if the words never left her mouth. i looked at the place where her neck curved around, i just wanted to hear it again, and let myself drown in that sound, with her teeth on my neck. the question is "why are your fangs on my skin, again, darling?" and her mind set to kill, oh, i still wanna be sure i have this correct, will you? and with her voice in my head, with her voice in my head, she repeated, she said:

'cause you're a puddle and i'm the atlantic
'cause you're a puddle and i was a hurricane
'cause you're a puddle and i'm the atlantic
'cause you're a puddle and i was a hurricane
'cause you're a puddle and i'm the atlantic
'cause you're a puddle but i was a hurricane
i am an ocean and i am the last rain
you are a puddle but i was a hurricane

you're not quite readable but that's all the same
'cause your head's a joke, you are an empty frame
the back door sticking out you're left alone
your new boss says he doesn't like your tone
tv says you got a rotten soul
all your neighbors have kids on the honor roll
no one else makes problems no one else complains
do you have no honor, do you have no shame?
hey, do you understand how lucky you are?
america is shining, you could be a star
give us a smile, chin up, do you feel the love yet?
what could you want more than to be made part of it?
well, we can help, we can help you decide
paint a whole new image and act yourself all alive
enjoy our fine selection of neon lights
just sit down and try not to look so uptight, baby

hey my head is a sham, it's a lost cause, full of liquid lead, helium dreams that take all of my time, we're gonna detonate burn ourselves alive, down into the earth's core, sticking to the sides. i'm so sorry, but we're headed inevitably and we can't save anyone, much less you or me, baby, all locked in and tight-lipped, too scared to speak, maybe, lead me down to the impact site and tell me as you take me:

you were a puddle and i'm the atlantic
you were a puddle and i was a hurricane
you were a puddle and i'm the atlantic
you were a puddle and i was a hurricane
you were a puddle and i'm the atlantic
you were a puddle and i was a hurricane
you are a waste and you're gonna evaporate
you're just a puddle and i was a hurricane

and i only know who we are when we pray to the gods
of stimulus and response
and show all our teeth when there's blood in the water
and follow the smoke in the air
look at you; now look at me
now, can you see?
we're perfect normal freaks
bloodthirsty pretty me
we're lovely jealous machines
we're lovely jealous machines
we're lovely jealous machines

on your time, alellujiah - ha ha-ha ha,
you're fine, alellujiah - ha ha-ha!
don't mind, alellujiah - ha ha-ha ha,
closed eyes, alellujiah - ha ha-ha!

the end, alellujiah - ha ha-ha ha,
the freeze, alellujiah - ha ha-ha!
the bends, alellujiah - ha ha-ha ha,
no sleep, alellujiah - ha ha-ha!

sing praise, alellujiah - ha ha-ha ha,
half-way, alellujiah - ha ha-ha!
amazed, alellujiah - ha ha-ha,
ha - ppy day, alellujiah - ha ha ha!

no love, alellujiah - ha ha-ha ha,
no love, alellujiah - ha ha-ha!
no love, alellujiah - ha ha-ha ha,
no love, alellujiah - ha ha-ha!

ahahaha, yeah, i don't love you
ahahaha, yeah, i don't love you
ahahaha, yeah, i don't love you
ahahaha, yeah, don't love you
