lyrics

I'm gonna sprint on tippy-toes, pitch my voice down low
I'm gonna swallow some hours in darkened bars
Just to show I mean business.
Carving a lipstick grin across my grit, an uncomfortable fit,
At least I'll look the part as I pick up the pieces.

You gotta be a rock,
Be a rockstar, baby
Just to keep the lights on in this town.
Sign on the line,
Take your life out on credit,
And burn it to the ground when you're done.

Can you keep up with this fight I found?
Will you still love me when it's all falling down?
Does it look like I am fucking around over here?

Oh honey, don't look now, I've sampled some religion.
I gave it my soul, I gave it my all,
And now I'm sellin' some of my own.
Oh honey, don't stop when you're stretchin' thin.
We are the closest, we are the closest we have ever been.

I'm gonna be a rock,
be a rockstar, baby
Just to keep the lights on in this town.
Signing on the line,
I took my life out on credit,
And I'll burn it to the ground when I'm done!

Can you keep up with this fight I've found?
Will you still love me when it's all falling down?
Does it look like I am fucking around over here?

The past is gonna getcha
The past is gonna getcha
If you don't run, run, run faster.
The past is gonna getcha
The past is gonna getcha
If you don't run, run

Can you keep up with this fight I've found?
Will you still love me when it's all falling down?
Does it look like I am fucking around?
Oh my love, you're gonna wear yourself out.
