I'm the graveyard-shift of romantics
a magicians old trick
& i can tell you think that you've got it

but i am the 'smoke'
& i'm the 'mirror'
the eye of the storm before it knocks you over


good men die us
bad-boys hang our heads & hide

not afraid
we know the worlds too $#&@ed to save


a dark alley?
& a ?wouldn't wanna run into you?
your white lighter, black-powder, bathtub & live fuse

the supernova's of superstars
you shoulda' told us we're the
v.2 of nothin' new


nothin' but a spoke on a wheel
without me it's nothin' but a wreck

jus' one way to live forever & baby your listenin' to it

so this is your rolled-down window

the warm breeze
a silly-song to make you think back on me


a dark alley?
& a ?wouldn't wanna run into you?
your white lighter, black-powder, bathtub & live fuse

the supernova's of superstars
you shoulda' told us we're
the v.2 of nothin' new


i'm a hart square in the headlights
world's goin' from dimly-lit to darkness

& now the color's leavin' me behind it's cool 'cos i lead a grey life
