lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got thirty dollars til Friday
Wanna get loose?
I've got booze and records at my place
If you sing the blues
I've got 50 ways to destroy you
You like to hurt like I do
You wanna hurt like I do?
Let the liquor surprise you

[Pre-Chorus]
So you wanna play
And play, and play, play
Do you wanna play a game tonight?
So you wanna play
And play
Push a button, press play
Do you wanna play a game tonight?

Fingers do the talking
While my lips do the walking
Come on

[Verse 2]
I've got dirty visions in my head
Wanna get free?
I've got some ideas
Close your eyes, I'll show you what I mean
I've got 50 ways to upturn you
You like to scream like I do
You wanna scream like I do?
Let my fingers surprise you

[Pre-Chorus]
So you wanna play
And play, and play, play
Do you wanna play a game tonight?
So you wanna play
And play
Push a button, press play
Do you wanna play a game tonight?

Fingers do the talking
While my lips do the walking
Come on

[Outro]
My whole unholy life
Been ticking marks to pass the time
I'm sipping
I'm sipping simple poisons
Drinking blood like holy wine
You feel the orbit, pull it in
Red lips are so divine
The stains they leave behind are modern marvels
But they're lying
You like the way it feels beneath the cover of street lights
We make it darker, cut the blinds
And move it, move to candle light
She candy painted, taste like candy
Draining energy that you ain't even know you had
We move in ways we can't take back
We move in ways we can't take back
And I want out

I grip glass, you grip thighs
Some hers, and some mine
In linen so unclean with sweat and moonshine
The keys is uncut
So raw when we burn lines
My teeth is uncut
So I said that I don't mind
Glass, you grip thighs
On Friday, Saturday night
The rubble is all yours
The bruises is all mine
Such a shame how we play the game every damn time
He wanted to touch a diamond
Can't handle the cut's shine
He wanted to touch a diamond
But now I want out

I put dandelions to my lips
Blow wishes on things that I can't have
Time spent unwise, honey, I know that
There's one of two ways to bring me back

I put dandelions to my lips
Blow wishes on things that I can't have
Time spent unwise, honey, I know that
There's one of two ways to bring me back
You bring me back

Oh these legs
Oh these legs always bring me right back to you
Oh these legs
Oh these legs always bring me right back to you
They bring me right back to you

Oh these legs
Oh these legs always bring me right back to you
Oh, all the colors we make
They speak volumes
Lend me a hand, or an ear, before you're gone
Oh my fingers they talk
And my lips do the walking, come on
Oh my fingers they talk
And my lips do the walking, come on
