another stake, another date

another stake another date
another busman’s holiday
another steer another plate
and honestly i’ve lost my appetite

oh always late all never true
oh always talk in absolutes
i want a pair of angels wings
so you can see how fucking dumb it looks

i wanna hang i want to hang onto
i want to kill the shaking 
the ringing shaking
who is this calling 
is this my beloved
you’ve taken him haven’t you
haven’t you taken him 

i want to stop the wrecking ball 
from crashing in my mouth
i know you’re very busy love
but i think you should come out

abandon course abandon ship
oh another rats got into it
and you can want them all to die
but that’s the kind that multiplies

we’re fighting off we’re floating on
a kind of kindness all gone wrong
and when we hit the shore we kiss 
before we put our matching muzzles on

i want to walk 
i want to walk again
i want to kill the numbing 
the shaking hoping
who is this calling 
is this my beloved
you’ve taken him haven’t you 
haven’t you taken him

i want to stop the wrecking ball 
from crashing in my mouth
i know you’re very busy 
but i can’t do this by myself

i want to stop the wrecking ball 
from crashing in my mouth
i know you’re very busy love
but i can’t do this by myself

this is the one
the one
this may be the one

the one that takes you out
