BANQUET

A heart of stone, a smoking gun

I can give you life, I can take it away

A heart of stone, a smoking gun

I'm working it out

Why’d you feel so underrated?

Why'd you feel so negated?

 

Turning away from the light

Becoming adult

Turning into my soul

I wanted to bite not destroy

To feel her underneath

Turning into the light

 

She don't think straight

Not, not, not

She don't think straight

 

She's got such a dirty mind

And it never ever stops

And you don't taste like her

And you never ever will

And we don't read the papers

We don't read the news

Heaven's never enough

We will never be fooled

 

Turning away from the light

Becoming adult

Turning into my soul

I wanted to bite not destroy

To feel her underneath

Turning into the light

 

And if you feel a little left behind

We will wait you on the other side

 

And if you feel a little left behind

We will wait you on the other side

 

'Cause I'm on fire

'Cause you know

I'm on fire when you come

'Cause you know

I'm on fire

'Cause you know

I'm on fire so stub me out

 

'Cause I'm on fire

'Cause I'm on fire

'Cause I'm on fire

'Cause I'm on fire
