Kill me if you dare Hold my head up everywhere Keep myself right on this train I'm the underdog Live my life on a lullaby Keep myself riding on this train Keep myself riding on this train Love in technicolor, sprayed out on walls Well I've been pounding at the pavement 'Til there's nothing at all I got my cloak and dagger In a bar room brawl See the local loves a fighter Loves a winner to fall Feels like I'm lost in a moment I'm always losing to win Can't get away from the moment Seems like it's time to begin Kill me if you dare Hold my head up everywhere Keep myself right on this train I'm the underdog Live my life on a lullaby Keep myself riding on this train Keep myself riding on this train It don't matter I won't do what you say You've got the money and the power I won't go your way And I can't take for the people They don't matter at all And I'll be waiting in the shadows 'Til the day that you fall Feels like I'm lost in a moment And I'm always losing to win Can't get away from the moment Seems like it's time to begin Kill me if you dare, Hold my head up everywhere Keep myself right on this train I'm the underdog, Live my life on a lullaby Keep myself riding on this train Tell me if you're down Throw your weapons to the ground Keep myself riding on this train Paper on the wire Sold your soul for another one Keep myself riding on this train Keep myself riding on this train
