about
Fast is never too fast.
lyrics
Been watching the streets, no sign of life,
Just a barren wasteland, disaster and strife,
Like fire and brimstone she brings death from above,
She’ll greet you with laughter and she’ll end you with love,
You’re in danger, in the eye of a storm,
The winds will shift and you’ll regret you were born,
You’re just her plaything, why can’t you see?
She’ll toss you around and you’ll end up like me.
She’s got no soul mate, look at her frigid eyes,
Her love is just a one night stand, spent in disguise,
A gun against your head, you say it’ll make you whole,
But we both know you’ve only got one goal, you want to,
Live with her forever, weather every weather,
Untie all the tethers, just you and her together,
If she would take you by the hand, you’d show the all the things you’d do,
She not a one for a single man, not for a man like you.
Just a barren wasteland, disaster and strife,
Like fire and brimstone she brings death from above,
She’ll greet you with laughter and she’ll end you with love,
You’re in danger, in the eye of a storm,
The winds will shift and you’ll regret you were born,
You’re just her plaything, why can’t you see?
She’ll toss you around and you’ll end up like me.
She’s got no soul mate, look at her frigid eyes,
Her love is just a one night stand, spent in disguise,
A gun against your head, you say it’ll make you whole,
But we both know you’ve only got one goal, you want to,
Live with her forever, weather every weather,
Untie all the tethers, just you and her together,
If she would take you by the hand, you’d show the all the things you’d do,
She not a one for a single man, not for a man like you.
