FALL OUT BOY lyrics : "Rat a Tat"


[Featuring: Courtney Love]


No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant rate
No graphics and no f**king powerpoint presentation
So they just DIY'd that sh*t and built their own bombs

She's his suicide blond, she's number than gold

Are you ready for another bad poem?

One more off key anthem
Let your teeth sink in
Remember me as I was not as I am

And I said ?I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead,?
I kept wishing she had blonde ambition and she'd let it go to my head


Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my love is a weapon

There's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey

If my heart is a grenade
You pull the pin and say:


We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes

Of a few minutes more
To get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards

Cause it's never
Getting any better than this


We are professional ashes of roses
This kerosene's live
You settled your score

This is where you come to beg, unborn and unshaven
Killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens
This is what we do, we nightmare you


I'm about to make the sweat roll backwards
And your heart beat in reverse

Our guts can't be reworked
As alone as a little white church in the middle of the desert
Getting burned

But I'll take your heart served up two ways
I sing a bitter song
I'm the lonelier version of you

I just don't know where it went wrong

She's sick and she's wrong

She's young dirty blonde
And you sink inside her like a suicide bomb
He says ?I've seen bigger?

She says ?I've lit better?
And they throw the matches down into the glitter
Not a dry eye left in the house

Go boy, run for your life

Talk less

Mean more
Let's be electric
Like we were before
