So far it's safe to go out, the boys have their knifes out

I said I'm gonna do this for you anyway, one balloon one cannon ball

This city's got a hold on you, the electricity is getting stronger

(Stronger)

A friction on my head but...

(Stalemate)



Why do we compromise our dreams?

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

And on and on it goes

(On and on)

Oh and on and on and on and on and on

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

For once in my life I love to feel my instincts sweeten

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

And I always seem to owe you an apology

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)



(On and on)

We diminish our self-respect, until there is none left

I said I've got to do this for you anyway, I jump you summersault

This city's got a hold on you, the electricity is getting stronger

(Stronger)

A theory of a knife fight

(Stalemate)



Why do we compromise our dreams?

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

And on and on it goes

(On and on)

Oh and on and on and on and on and on

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

For once in my life I love to feel my instincts sweeten

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

And I always seem to owe you an apology

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
