What’s that light in my rearview? What’s the writhing in the road?
Blinding, braking, hydroplaning, Tiny bodies slap my hood.
And the rain comes pouring down, trees fly by in silhouette
Now the tape is playing backwards, now the light is overhead
As the panic overtakes me, dashboard flickers and goes dead.
100 miles an hour, ooh 100,000 frogs!
Just keep driving driving
Aaah just keep driving driving ahhhh
In the darkness that’s engulfed me, ears assailed by wailing tires
I careen into the guardrail, all i see is the blue fire
100 miles an hour, ooh 100,000 frogs!
Just keep driving driving
Aaah just keep driving driving ahhhh
Pull myself out of the wreckage, crawling through amphibian gore
Reach the top of the embankment, can’t feel my legs anymore
100 miles an hour, ooh 100,000 frogs!
I can almost see the eyes, the Grey men in silhouette!

The Numbers

Never turned my head
Just snuck up behind me
Hands around my neck
I knew that it would find me
Nervousness is nothing new
Counting all the steps is what protects me
Three times I cross myself before
Seventeen paces to the door
Five times the turning of the lock
Twenty-three houses where I walk
If I’m a ghost why do I feel
The mirror tells me that I’m real
But I go on and on and on
When I stop counting I’ll be gone
The human mask I wear
You think that you know me
But I’ve been gone for years
A mannequin that breathes
Frightened with each step I take
The numbers they defend me
Ten hairs I pull out of my head
Eight crusts I cut off of my bread
One scab I pick at all day long
This sign is thirty letters long
Thirty-four years I lived a lie
Thirty-four more until I die
This hungry world I float alone
When I stop counting I’ll be gone
I count the voices in my head
I count the bloodstains on my bed
I pull the blankets tight around
Cover my ears against the sound
Eight billion people on the earth
A number tells me what I’m worth
I count the seconds until dawn
When I stop counting I’ll be gone

Listen to me
You don’t mean it
You don’t really want to do this
Listen to me
Don’t leave me here
Don’t make me cry and beg you
Listen to me
We can fix this
You can turn around and we’ll forget this
You hold the cards
You drive the car
You have my future in your hands
I understand
Are we not men?
Can we not handle this like men?
Listen to me
It won’t be long
Before they come looking for me
Listen to me
You’re not a bad guy
You’re just desperate, I understand you
Listen to me
I’ve got money
I’ve got a family waiting for me
Listen to me
It’s Armani
It’s iridium and you can have it all
You hold the cards
You drive the car
You have my future in your hands
I understand
Are we not men?
Can we not talk it out like men?
Instrumental break/Solo
You hold the cards
You drive the car
You have my future in your hands
(Can’t you tell me what you want
I understand
(I can’t help if I don’t know
Are we not men?
(Why you look at me like that
Can we not talk it out like men?
(Can’t you tell me what you want
Take all I own
(I can’t help if I don’t know
I’m not alone
(What’s that in your pocket, man
Do you not know who I am?
(Can’t you tell me what you want
Take all I own
(I can’t help if I don’t know
I’m not alone
(Please just tell me it’s not loaded
Don’t you know who I am?

You didn’t know what you were getting
You went betting on a dark horse,
Hunting a unicorn.
You didn’t know what you were doing
You’re in ruins cuz you
Gave your boy such a shiny toy
Now I’m the reason why he lies
And I’m the reason why you cry
And now your love is nobody
And now your house is all in flames
And I’m the one who’ll take the blame
But I’m happy pouring kerosene
You couldn’t know when you went looking for a third
I would subtract him
He don’t want you now
You basic girls should never gamble
You rolled the dice into accelerant
And you know you can’t
Tame his brain now that I’m in it
You can’t win it
Now the worm has turned
And it’s you who’s burned
Now I’m the reason why he lies
And I’m the reason why you cry
And now your love is nobody
And now your house is all in flames
And I’m the one who’ll take the blame
But I’m happy pouring kerosene
You couldn’t know when you went looking for a third
I would subtract him
He don’t want you now
You can’t control the burn you let
the devil creeps into your churchyard
He don’t want you now
Now I’m the reason why he lies
And I’m the reason why you cry
And now your love is nobody
And now your house is all in flames
And I’m the one who’ll take the blame
But I’m happy pouring kerosene
You couldn’t know when you went looking for a third
I would subtract him
He don’t want you now
You can’t control the burn you let
the devil creeps into your churchyard
And he wants me more
You can’t pretend no more
You hate the fox you let into your henhouse
You can’t shut the door
And though you got him back your bed is burning
Can’t ignore the warning: the devil is a whore.

Midnight and my skin is crawling
As the moon seeks out my upturned face
I’m an animal
Howling in my tattered remnants
But that girl is hardly even phased.
I’m an animal
So why aren’t you scared?
See my teeth are sharp
But you just meet my stare
Why don’t you scream?
I’m terrifying, you’ve got what I need.
Fall down frightened, turn your throat to me.
I can’t chase if you don’t run
Drooling, she can smell my slobber
As she reads her book and sips her tea
Growling, my voice shakes her saucer
But she just turns and yawns at me
I’m an animal
Ripping my disguise
But you ain’t impressed
You just roll your eyes
Cower, shiver, why don’t you scream?
I’m terrifying, you’ve got what I need.
I’m an animal
A motherfucking cur
With a taste for blood
You just pet my fur
I’m a raging beast
Please throw me a bone
No matter how I snarl
You just boop my nose
Cower, shiver, why don’t you scream?
I’m terrifying, you’ve got what I need.
Fall down frightened, turn your throat to me.
I can’t chase if you don’t run
