I'm pickin', I'm pickin', I'm pickin', I pick up the phone

You said it yourself you’re scared of being alone

You said it yourself that you can crack the code

But the static you hear automatically keeps you exposed, on your own

I hope you’re ready, steady, smashing through the levy

The drama, the trauma, don’t play the prima donna

My God, you said it yourself that you would never stop

Until you felt the needle drop

Now you pack your bags

The party’s such a drag

And everyone can tell that you’re poisoning the well

But there are no mistakes

Except what you create

You need to know your place

'Cause it’s about to get heavy

It’s about to be on

Yeah, I’m bangin’ slingin’ napalm

So nobody move

'Cause I was sent to warn you

The devil's in the next room

The silence, the silence

The blinding ultra violence

Knockin’ at your door

Pacin’ back and forth

What now? (What now)

The whispers and the screams

The stereotypical profiling ritual

Vicious and obscene

So now you pack your bags

The party’s such a drag

And everyone can tell that you’re poisoning the well

But there are no mistakes

Except what you create

You need to know your place

'Cause it’s about to get heavy

It’s about to be on

Yeah, I’m bangin’ slingin’ napalm

So nobody move

'Cause I was sent to warn you

The devil's in the next room

'Cause it’s about to get heavy

It’s about to be on

Yeah, I’m bangin’ slingin’ napalm

So nobody move

'Cause I was sent to warn you

The devil's in the next room

(Heavy, heavy, heavy)

Yeah the devil's in the next room (heavy, heavy, heavy)

Yeah the devil's in the next room (heavy, heavy, heavy)

So nobody move

'Cause I was sent to warn you

The devil's right beside you
