Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a list of crime
My only weakness is … well, never mind, never mind”

“Seen it in my head, burning my heart
I found her in a dream, looking for me
Doesn’t make sense, see her again
I don’t, know…”

Honey, he’s moving into the big house
Remember when I was so very hopeless
Darling, he’s gonna make it all better”

“My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees nothing
Your slap don’t stick
Your kicks don’t hit
So we remain the same
Love sticks
Sweat drips
Break the lock if it don’t fit”

Quarter half the mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay”

A solid soul and the blood I bleed
With a little girl, and by my spouse
I only want a proper house”

“Why don’t you sit right down and stay awhile?
We like the same things and I like your style
Its not a secret; why do you keep it?
I’m just sitting on the shelf”

“I’m sick of social crazes
Show your sharp tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Did the legal meet”
-”CHEAP AND CHEERFUL” BY THE KILLS

Few things are related to the old times
When we didn’t believe in magic and we didn’t die
This time the words that you should follow went you’re inside”
