TRY TO RECONCILE NO. 7 WHILE I'M LOOKING FOR NO. 8
WORRYING THAT MY SWEET TOOTH JUST MIGHT NUMBLY STOP ITS ACHE
BETWEEN MY ID & EGO A STUPORED FEELING FROM EVERYTHING TO BLACKOUT IN A TWITCH
A TWITCH THAT'S ALL IT TAKES & I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THIS

OVERDONE ON DIRT AND BORE
AND MY CHECKLIST IS GETTING SLIM ON THESE WAYS TO FEEL ALIVE
OH YES I LIKE ESCAPE
BUT NOT TO THE POINT THAT IT'S BEEN POPULARIZED
THRU THE STALEST OF EYES IN FAMOUS DROWNINGS

IT'S AN ELEVATOR RIDE WITH A HOLD ON YOUR THROAT
AND A HAND UP YOUR SKIRT, PULSING WISH AND A FLIRT BEEN PARALYZED
I'VE DONE THIS TIME ALONE SO MUCH
THAT I LIKE IT THIS WAY AND ADMITTANCE AT TIMES
IS EASIER THAN IT OUGHT TO BE, EASIER THAN THEY LIKE IT TO BE

chorus

NO I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO GIVE x2

BUT I'M KNEELING IN THE STAINED GLASS OF MY LAST FALLEN CHURCH
PRAYING THAT SOMETHING HERE IS WORTH THE WAIT
RISING FROM THE STAINED PAST OF MY LAST WORTHLESS HURT
PRAYING FOR ANYTHING WORTH THE WAIT

STUNTED HEARTS, BLUES & HIPPIES, HOOKERS, FRIENDS & ACCIDENTS
WAVING COME BACK FOR MORE WITH YOUR PREVIOUS ALLURE
TOO RECENT TO BE STABLE BUT IT'S WARM
LIKE A THUNDERSTORM CHARM WITH THE CLOUDS TO MAKE SOMEONE BELIEVE
WHAT CAN YOU MAKE ME BELIEVE?

chorus

NO I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO GIVE x2

STUNTED HEARTS, BLUES & HIPPIES, HOOKERS, FRIENDS & ACCIDENTS
WAVING COME BACK FOR MORE, ARE THEY HARDER TO IGNORE?
