we used to say we were in like flynn

red rockets and we were in

and the hairline fracture in my ankle bone

aches just enough to remind me that i'm alone



and the black cat seems so far away

even though it was only yesterday

even though it was only yesterday



there'll be no explosions tonight

no matter how hard i try

and how i will i remain upright

as you're walking by?



we were shaking down the reptile house

(we were shakin', yeah we were shakin')

bottle rockets without a doubt

and the blood sweat shivers running through these veins

(we were shakin', yeah we were shakin')

it kills me to know some things will never be the same



and the big black seems so far away

even though it was only yesterday

even though it was always yesterday



there'll be no explosions tonight

no matter how hard i try

and how will i remain upright

as you're walking by?

there'll be no explosions tonight

no matter how hard i try

and how will i remain upright?

you're just walking by



it's all or nothing at all...

or nothing at all...



you always said that it was just for kicks

the blue baby needs another fix

i was the lifter now these broken bones

they ache just enough to remind me that i'm alone



there'll be no explosions tonight

no matter how hard i try

and how will i remain upright

as you're walking by?

there'll be no explosions tonight

no matter how hard i try

and how will i remain upright?

you're just walking by



it's all or nothing at all...
