Shake it down
Will bad weather try deceive me
Looking through
The barrel of a loaded shotgun feeling
What if I called you a stunner
Would your heart beat with a flutter
Lie through your teeth without a meaning
Blurry eyes shade what I'm seeing
Read my mind
Did you find what you've been seeking
Jot it down
With your battery powered wonder
Stop yourself mid-emotion
Crying out of senseless devotion
Breathing like a respiratory machine
Running through my veins like Samson's hairpiece
Oh
You know
I took the blows took the blows
Saying, this is how it goes
I danced in your puppet show
Oh
You know
I took the blows took the blows
Saying, this is how it goes this is how it goes
I danced in your puppet show
She's a sort of been there done that
She's got the t-shirt and living in a TV show
I'll take sip on your witchcraft dreams and turn you on to show
Tell all the boys that I'm the man
They better bow down to the throne
And I can be your Peter Pan your lost boy or your soul
Oh
You know
I took the blows took the blows
Saying, this is how it goes
I danced in your puppet show
Oh
You know
I took the blows took the blows
Saying, this is how it goes
I danced in your puppet show
Runaway
From the problems that keep rising
Play the game
This is God's time that you're wasting
Set yourself up in a blender
Strike yourself down with your thunder
Feel the earth crack as you're falling
Deep inside I see your self loathing
Oh
You know
I took the blows took the blows
Saying, this is how it goes
I danced in your puppet show
Oh
You know
I took the blows took the blows
Saying, this is how it goes
I danced in your puppet show
She's a sort of been there done that
She's got the t-shirt and living in a tv show
The basement of society is underground below
