wind up

i have a choice between the bat or the belt

each time i hear about the hand you've been dealt

spare me confession

it's confession you sell

maybe i'll fall behind

i don't mind

'cause i'll catch up

i want a song that's indelible

like manimal

i hope you never see me wind up

will i be happy on the back of the shelf

will you be happy when we're sharing a cell

spare me the questions since you know me so well

someday you'll realize

i get shy and i choke up

i want a song that's indelible

like manimal

i hope you never see me wind up

what is wrong with this animal

i'm terrible

i hope you never see me wind up

farewell my sweet paramania

farewell my sweet paramania

my only promise is that i'll never tell

keep you at distance from the things that i felt

i'll bite the bullet

take the beating

until i take it all back anyway

what was i supposed to say?

i want a song that's indelible

like manimal

i hope you never see me wind up

what is wrong with this animal

i'm terrible

i hope you never see me wind up
