chaos and clothes

the ground was wet and the sky was dark

you took her bet

she took your heart

wrapped it 'round an oak tree

like you did that '67 gto

oh no

lovers leave chaos and clothes

in quiet corners where you rarely ever go

one day you find proof that she was real

despite your struggle to forget

oh yes

you're in a fight to the death my friend

black metal t-shirts your shield

you've got the past on your breath my friend

now name all the monsters you've killed

let's name all the monsters you've killed

the man she chose to take your place

turns his collar up to better frame his face

how you'd love to hate her

but you just can't hate somebody you don't know

oh no

did she leave a trail of crumbs

so you could find her when you're what you could become

or did she know you well enough

to realize that garden just won't grow?

oh no

you're in a fight to the death my friend

airways a grand battlefield

you've got your past on your breath my friend

now name all the monsters you've killed

let's name all the monsters you've killed

in my sleep i build machines

but nobody ever wants to hear about my dreams

last night i saw a burning ferris wheel

the meaning's anybody's guess

oh yes

lovers leave chaos and clothes

more debris that you can sort through in one go

you say love is hell

but it's the ghost of love that's made you such a mess

oh yes

you're in a fight to the death my friend

fight like you're chained to the wheel

you've got the past on your breath my friend

now name all the monsters you've killed

let's name all the monsters you've killed
