[Verse 1]
Stone blind alibi
I will eat the lie
Find the word
Could break any spell that binds you
Prayers like ammonites
Curl beneath the lights
How I long to
Bite every hand that feeds you more
[Chorus]
Where d’it all go wrong
My Friday night enfant
Where d’it all go wrong
My Friday night enfant
[Verse 2]
All night buzz on a line
It’s only blood on the rime
Wrecks my head every time
It leads me on
[Chorus]
Where d’it all go wrong
My Friday night enfant
Where d’it all go wrong
My Friday night enfant
[Outro]
Tonight, tonight
Tonight I’m running wild I’m running
Tonight I’m running wild I’m running
Tonight I’m running wild I’m running
Tonight I’m running wild I’m running
Tonight I’m running wild
