The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've got that lefty curse Where everything I do is flipped And awkwardly reversed You're seldom known and barely missed I always put myself In destructive situations I need oxygen To be exposed where no one goes, where no one's been When it all comes crashing Now we've got a big, big Mess on our hands tonight. (sing it) Now we've got a big, big Mess on our hands tonight. Somebody get my phone So I can throw it in a public Pool and watch it float And as it slowly sinking down, Become a social ghost Inside a box, cut at the top To let some light shine in To remind me what I've done and where I've been When it all comes crashingâ?¦ Now we've got a big, big Mess on our hands tonight. (sing it) Now we've got a big, big, big, big Mess on our hands, on our hands. Don't give in, don't give up, I'll be gone. You don't look innocent enough. We're too young to be critics We won't miss anything at all Don't give in, don't give up I don't look innocent with this big big mess on, I'll say something else. Oh, we've got a big, big mess, Oh, we've got a big, big mess, A big, big mess, Now we've got a big, big mess, A big, big mess Now we've got a big, big Mess on our hands tonight. (sing it) Now we've got a big big Mess on our hands tonight. Now we've got a big, big, big, big Mess on our hands Don't give in, don't give up I'll be gone. I don't look innocent enough We're too young to be cynics We won't wish any harm at all Don't give in, don't give up No one looks innocent with this big big mess on our hands tonight. When it all comes crashing.
