[Talking:]
My actions should be self explanatory
and since in our self obsessed culture words seldom match the deed
writing a mission statement would seem questionable
so judge me by my actions
maybe some will be scared enough to wake from their walking dream state
Well I'm happy to report
my long standing last resort
ended by just stopping short
of me burning like a torch
step off, stand back
cause it's a fact I've got a match and
all my fingers crossed behind my back
Give me some breathing room
cause I'm breathing fumes, I'll light the fuse
Give me some breathing room
cause there's something that I need to prove
Give me some breathing room
cause I'm breathing fumes, I'll light the fuse
and I'm gonna make the evening news
Well I'm busy making plans
with a flare gun in my hand
kerosene soaked through my pants
the last words in my last stand
step up, stand back
cause it's a fact I've got a match and
all my fingers crossed behind my back
Give me some breathing room
cause I'm breathing fumes, I'll light the fuse
Give me some breathing room
cause there's something that I need to prove
Give me some breathing room
cause I'm breathing fumes, I'll light the fuse
and I'm gonna make the evening news
and I'm gonna make the evening news
Give me some breathing room
cause I'm breathing fumes, I'll light the fuse
Give me some breathing room
cause there's something that I need to prove
Give me some breathing room
cause I'm breathing fumes, I'll light the fuse
give me some breathing room
I'm on fire, it's all ending soon
and I'm gonna make the evening news
yeah I'm gonna make the evening news
yeah I'm gonna make the evening news
