During production, this song initially started off as two unrelated parts. This is also the first Sleigh Bells song to feature interlocking finger-picking.
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't get me twice
I got your heart in a vice
You don't get me twice
I got your heart on ice
You don't get me
Are you telling lies with your pretty eyes?
You're in trouble, yeah
You don't get me twice
Are you telling lies with your pretty eyes?
You're in trouble, yeah
You don't get me twice
How many Mikey Mantles never stepped to the plate?
How many Mikey Mantles never stepped to the plate?
How many Mikey Mantles never stepped to the plate?
How many Mikey Mantles never stepped to the plate?
You don't get me twice
You don't get me
[Chorus]
Twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty, twenty-three
It's a terrifying thing, the American dream
It's a terrifying thing, the American dream
[Verse 1]
It started storming
So early in the morning
It started storming
So early in the morning
I received no warning
Now that's heartwarming
Oh right, the weather's boring
Well, let me tell you a story
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't get me twice
I got your heart in a vice
You don't get me twice
I got your heart on ice
You don't get me
[Chorus]
Twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty-three
Twenty, twenty, twenty-three
It's a terrifying thing, the American dream
It's a terrifying thing, the American dream
[Breakdown]
It's a terrifying thing, the American dream
It's a terrifying thing, the American dream
It's a terrifying thing, the American dream
It's a terrifying thing, the American dream
[Verse 2]
Don't you ever think it could be considered a sin
I hope you fasten me in to blow another hole in
It's the position I'm in and I'm telling you
Please lock the truth, you know I gotta
Don't do anything that could be considered a sin
I hope you fasten me in to blow another hole in
It's the position I'm in and I'm telling you
Please lock the truth, you know I gotta
[Outro]
Maybe, just maybe
Maybe if you ask me
Maybe, just maybe, baby
Maybe if you ask me nice
