Oh it's not easy to resist temptation
Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination
Taking ev'ry word she says just like an open invitation
But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation
Chorus:
Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
So I whisper and I scream
But don't get me wrong
Please don't leave me waitin' too long
Waitin' too long
Waitin' too long
Waitin' too long
Hey
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking then they'll
Flower
turn the ugly light off god
wanna feel the night
everyday it shines down on me
don't you think that i see
don't you think that i see what it's all about
hard to look the other way
while the world passes me by
and everyone is trying to bum me out
it's a pretty big world god
and i am awful small
everyday they rain down on me
flower in a hailstorm
flower in a hailstorm
i'm living for the drought
i could throw it back at them
but then i play their game
everyone is trying to bum me out
when i came into this world they slapped me
and everyday since then i'm slapped again
tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
you see, I know i'm gonna win
turn the ugly light off god
don't wanna see my face
everyday it will betray me
don't you think that i know
don't you think that i know what they're talking about
if they step on me tonight
they're gonna pay someday
everyone is trying to bum me out
