Jesus christ, girl
What are people gonna think
When I show up to one of several funerals
I've attended for grandpa this week
With you
With me
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig
Jesus christ, girl
It hasn't been long so it seems
Since I was picking out an island and a tomb for you
At the Hollywood Cemetery
You kiss
On me
Yeah but we should let this dead guy sleep
Yeah we should let this dead guy sleep
Jesus christ, girl
I laid up for hours in a daze
Retracing the expanse of your american back
With adderal and weed in my veins
You came
I think
The marble made my cheeks look pink
But i'm unsure of so many things
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig
Someone's gotta help me dig

I woke to the hail of my mind
I rose to the light behind my eyes
I froze to find I was temporarily blind
I'm waiting, i'm just waiting for my time
We wait and we wait
And we shake our heads
At mistakes we've made
Still we make our beds
And we lay in peace
While we count our sheep
And we wait, and we wait
For our time
I know what you want
I don't know what you need
I follow you around
Like a puppy at your knees
I know who you are
I don't know where you've been
I've been waiting too damn long
For this feeling
We wait, and we wait
And we shake our heads
At mistakes we've made
Still we make our beds
And we lay in peace
While we count our sheep
And we wait, and we wait
For our time
Gimme, gimme gone
Sing an honour song
Living up to legends
Like a king among pawns
I know how you feel
I don't know how you touch
I've been waiting too damn long
And expecting too much
I woke to the hail of my mind
I rose to the light behind my eyes
I froze to find I was temporarily blind
I'm waiting, I'm just waiting for my time
Gimme, gimme gone
Sing an honour song
Living up to legends
Gimme, gimme gone
I've been waiting too damn long

Don't bother coming by
You don't wanna know what these demons can be like.
I fixed myself up nice
Turned up the heat and put my skin on ice.
I put a curse on you
Now you know, what's it to you.
If you want the truth
Hold your breath till your face turns blue
I've got no reflection in any direction
And they say i'm getting lighter every day
Well I can't wait, that's what I say
I'm a monster, so give it to me straight
You know us monsters
We could take you any day
Hey, hey, hey
Don't spill your tears on me
The wishes I grant, they don't come for free
This 'aint your Momma's dance
They'll tear you apart if you give 'em the chance
You know i'm burning up
Never know when to say that's enough.
You can call me Queen
You're still the worst damn liar that I ever have seen
I've got no reflection in any direction
And they say i'm getting lighter every day
Well I can't wait, that's what I say
I'm a monster, so give it to me straight
You know us monsters
We could take you any day
Hey, hey, hey
Happy go lucky
No chance in hell
Snapping my fingers like
Broken bells
Easy come, easy go
It takes one to know
And a murder this crowded don't
Need another crow, I still
Like the way you taste
I just wanted you to know
But you can't afford admission to this
Freak show
I've got no reflection in any direction
And they say i'm getting lighter every day
Well I can't wait, that's what I say
I'm a monster, I don't need you anyway
I'm a monster
I could take you any day
Hey, hey, hey

This is how I show my love
I made it in my mind because
I blame it on my ADD baby
This is how an angel cries
Blame it on my own sick pride
Blame it on my ADD baby
Sail (x4)
Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby
Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my ADD baby
Sail (x4)
La, la, la, la, la...
Oh sail (x4)
La, la, la, la, la (sail)...
