All Arise!

Baby wants a new spin, baby wants a broken heart
I hear you've found a lynch-pin
to keep it all from falling apart
But you keep on rollin'
you keep on rollin'
Better find a way
better kick it from your big brown eyes
I hear it tightens up when you fall
after fifteen tries.
Like a ship at ocean
Like a ship at ocean
Like a ship at ocean
Like a ship at sea
Spit thick and you cross your heart
but the culverts all run dry
from keeping shotgun-shy
all right
Just be mine tonight
So the dollar shop shoppers broke the lock
and they knocked you down
better call the coppers
if you need someone to push you around
But you keep on stealin'
you keep on stealin'
Yes, you keep on stealin'
there's nothing left to steal.
Spit thick and you cross your heart
but the culverts all run dry
from keeping shotgun-shy
all right
Just be mine tonight
Just be mine tonight
Just be mine tonight
