[Verse 1]
I am a grenade, you are a metal grate
I throw myself at you, but I will not break
You are the bloody boot, pressed into my head
You are the reason that they don't care
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me steal the show, please
He's got nothing but sleaze
He's got the cards up his sleeves
The kings are at home
Let me steal the show, please
He's got nothing but sleaze
He's got the cards up his sleeves
The kings are at home
[Chorus]
Pour petrol on my clothes
Anaesthetic in my gums
Throw away the words I wrote
I declare, my demons have won
[Verse 2]
Darling, look, oh, we're in such a mess
And you've got my heart trapped
In a masochistic check!
This part right now is where you load your gun
For when my back is turned, I guess that you have won
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me steal the show, please
He's got nothing but sleaze
He's got the cards up his sleeves
The kings are at home
Let me steal the show, please
He's got nothing but sleaze
He's got the cards up his sleeves
The kings are at home
[Chorus]
Pour petrol on my clothes
Anaesthetic in my gums
Throw away the words I wrote
[Hook]
That switch in your bedroom
That hides everything you do
Has another fingerprint
Your bedside lamp is your own best friend
Pour petrol on my clothes...
[Chorus]
Pour petrol on my clothes
Anaesthetic in my gums
Throw away the words I wrote
[Hook]
That switch in your bedroom
That hides everything you do
Has another fingerprint
Your bedside lamp is your own best friend
(Friend!)
I declare, my demons have won
I declare, my demons have won!
(Fuck!)
