One two, picking up the pace

Three four, rat is in the race

I'm on the lamb

I'm on the chase

I'm on the hunt

I've got no time to waste

One clue

Gotta take the bait

Burst through

All the barricades

It's got teeth

It's got fangs

It's got me in the palm of its hands

It said I want you

I said I want you

do you know what I mean?

Ah, Do you know what I mean?

My eyes are hollow

My bones

Begging for sleep

I won't make it through tomorrow

I'm useless with these wooden wings

This love, gotta break it down

Chew it up

Spit it out

I don't know where it could be

I don't know how it found me

Arms wide

Crucified, crucifix

Jesus ain't coming for me

I threw away my church key

My eyes are hollow

My bones

Begging for sleep

I won't make it through tomorrow

I'm useless with these wooden wings

Ah la la la la la

Ah la la la la la

I'll ride away

On a cloud made out of hopeless treasure

I'll smile and wave

At his golden gates

Ah la la la la la

Ah la la la la la

Ah la la la la la

Ah la la la la la

Ah la la la la la

Ah la la la la la

Ah la la la
