Three Strikes

Dark night, time goes quickly underneath
Cold faces, they glow beneath
Invited me here through the grit of your teeth
Twisted tattoos on his waxy skin
Move like beetles over him
Invited me here, there's no way to get in

One more strike, one more strike and I'm out of here
Strike two, and I disappear
Three strikes and I'm out

One more strike, one more strike and I'm out of here
Strike two, and I disappear
Three strikes and I'm out

Push back dead weight of the bathroom door
Old names that I knew before
Invited me there for a good time, they swore
Fables he told them with stern belief
Dance with them and all my grief
Invited me here with my name on a wreath

One more strike, one more strike and I'm out of here
Strike two, and I disappear
Three strikes and I'm out
One more strike, one more strike and I'm out of here
Strike two, and I disappear
Three strikes and I'm out

I'm not grieving violently
I won't scream or shout
My pride will follow silently
Three strikes and I'm out
I'm not leaving slowly
I hold every day out
My pride will always belong to me

One more strike, one more strike and I'm out of here
Strike two, and I disappear
Three strikes and I'm out
One more strike, one more strike and I'm out of here
Strike two, and I disappear
Three strikes and I'm out
One more strike, one more strike and I'm out of here
Strike two, and I disappear
Three strikes, three strikes and I'm out
Three strikes and I'm out
