Oh baby I'm worth the danger
I'm a game of Russian roulette with a bullet in every chamber
No maybe I'll never change her
But that won't stop me

Oh who must that be
On the edge of the smoke I see
Beneath the guise of a top hat
A glint from the eye of a tom cat

And Oh Tick tick tick goes the watch
Wind it up it'll never stop
And neither will he

Oh I don't mean to brag
Well yes I do but you're such a drag
And maybe a little story telling
Will get at the goods you're selling

Oh maybe it's all I can do
To feel alive when I'm next to you
And Oh maybe I'm more than you'll ever see
Maybe I adore the complexity

Oh baby pull me under
Come on, tear me asunder
Show me with your subtle flaunts
I can't have everything I want

But oh
What is this?

But oh
Craving a kiss?

But oh, shaking hands search for a reason
Burning brands mark my heart for treason
If I want to ever get out alive
I have to sever these warm ties
Cause the pain only finds me
When love comes and binds me

And oh!!!

And oh!!!

Run run run he'll never stop
Like the tick tick tick of his pocket watch
And you can blame all your romances
On the shame of your midnight dances
But you'll never know from where it came
Like the tom cat you tried to tame
