Shaken (Not Stirred)

(album: The Generation Of Danger - 2022)

Shit!

Oh, you bow to no one?
I wouldn't say that...
I'd only just made myself so comfortable
It seems my plan was full of holes
I dared to walk the blurring line
I dared to think, o' it's all so romantic!
Get dunked into the bowl
I couldn't reach into your soul

Misfortune rang
But I couldn't fucking get it
I couldn't pick up the phone, man!
I'm stupefied
I still don't fucking get it!
It's got me so surprised!

When I pull it all apart
It gets hard to keep on believing in you...

I dared to walk the blurring line
(Another day, another bloated, black disaster)
What will you find down in that hole?
(Suck in the fluid as your lungs are turned to gills)
It never hurts to tread on the side of caution
So I flipped your spine into a fin
And wrapped it up in skin
And just called it win
To make up for all the other losses you were a part of

When I pull it all apart
It gets hard to keep on believing in you
What's it like in the drain?
Swim away, go be my muse
Believe me, I know!
What's it like in the drain?

Misfortune rang
But I couldn't fucking get it
I couldn't pick up the phone, man!
I'm stupefied
I still don't fucking get it!
It's got me so surprised!

I dare to say I walked the blurring line
Your scales, they matched the sky
But they won't be there tomorrow
And I don't wanna' see mistakes
So you'll go down alone
I won't find no relief
I'll just have regrets
That you couldn't be changed
(Misfortune)
(But I couldn't fucking get it)
You couldn't be changed

When I pull it all apart
It gets hard to keep on believing in you
What's it like in the drain?
Swim away, go be my muse
Believe me, I know!
What's it like in the drain?

I took the passport to nowhere
I took the passport to nowhere
