because i told another tale about our beautiful race
and now i’m lying in bed until we’re sober and up
well, you know i’ve never really given a fuck
i walked up to the bed, you let me pull off the dress
i never really give in, now i’m doing the rest
yeah, it’s a criminal acting when we try to find peace

we could end up dead or maybe worse
but none of that seems to hurt
so we’ll be taking it all before we go

and know i love you
say “i love you”
