Let's run naked through these city streets
|
We're all captives of captivity
|
Let's wear madness like a crucifix
|
Let's tattoo Bible quotes across both our hips
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Let's get back to the fundamental things
|
Let's get back to the elements of style
|
Let's get back to simple skin on skin
|
Let's get back to the fundamental things
|
|
Let's dance barefoot over broken glass
|
Slither like a snake does through the wet, cold grass
|
Howl and tremble in a sleepless grind
|
Let's do the braindrain, leave it all behind
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
You can sit in your room and worry
|
You can contemplate the end
|
Or let your house burn down behind you
|
Run bare-ass through the streets again
|
|
You can hide out on your rooftop
|
Wishing you had never been
|
Or go down to Hal's bar and grill
|
Find your innocence again
|
|
[Chorus]
|
