Manic Panic

All the times I tried to walk away In a manic panic moment She tides me over It's borderline I tried to get away But like a power hungry cop She pulls me over Resident fines I stepped through a dark doorway I lost track of the time She calls me over A diffident smile Like a schoolgirl vies to tease No repentance in her eyes She pulls me closer She says, "I want you to be So close to me You could come undone Like a locked and loaded gun" "I hear that boys like you Are so hard to please I think this might be fun" Conversations bore me This beat kills Like a movie star Without a pulse I could say I'm sorry By this time tomorrow I gotta go Manic panic parties Like MTV video stars Washed up On the golden coast I can't stay I'm sorry By this time tomorrow I gotta go It's 2 AM The zombies stalk the streets Am I hallucinating? She's out of focus Sold at subprime Her lipstick on my cheek A girl so extraordinary She's the devil on my shoulder She says, "Darling, you and me We're so in sync C'mon, let's have some fun After all is said and done" "You know girls like me Are such a rarity I think you might be the one" Conversations bore me This beat kills Like a movie star Without a pulse I could say I'm sorry By this time tomorrow I gotta go Manic panic parties Like MTV video stars Washed up On the golden coast I can't stay I'm sorry By this time tomorrow I gotta go I am a broken body A clementine hybrid Sent here to bleed All she does is party Out of her mind But she's the top shelf queen to me Incident emotions On a dark parkway It's not a form of punishment But you better not be out too late Ay, ay Each time we touch It's like an atomic split Or a new wartime declaration Why's it always gotta end this way? Ay, ay Conversations bore me This beat kills Like a movie star Without a pulse I could say I'm sorry By this time tomorrow I gotta go Manic panic parties Like MTV video stars Washed up On the golden coast I can't stay I'm sorry By this time tomorrow I gotta go By this time tomorrow I gotta go By this time tomorrow I gotta go I got to go
