Tonight we'll both go M.I.A In different towns but in similar ways I've tried my best, best to forget But I can't, I can't, I can't Tonight we'll scratch each other's face If it's in the moment no one complains I tried my best to move along But I can't, I can't, I can't Kiss me with your fist it's all right Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind I'm permanent, now I won't go I just wanna be your shadow Just one more uptempo tune The suits don't care if their feet aren't blue Are you aware of whats going on In my heart, my heart, my heart Those machine gun eyes, fire crystals into me You're such a violent high And I'm such a loose cannon can't you see? Kiss me with your fist it's all right Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind I'm permanent, now I won't go I just wanna be your shadow Have a bus drive it over my rib cage Snap my bank cards and throw them at my face I'm permanent now I won't go I just wanna be your shadow And I just want to be sum of your broken parts And I just want to be the creature of the dark And I just want to be sum of your broken parts And I just want to be your creature of, your creature of the dark I just wanna be your shadow Kiss me with your fist it's all right Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind I'm permanent, now I won't go I just wanna be your shadow
