Half of no chance, steps in a dance rest of my live spin in combat riff1 Now I'm the king of the ward 'cause I'm good and I swallow my sword Puke it up for the doctor to write a new prescription tranquil as a dove people that have lost their true love that all seem to fit the same description I feel cold, useless and old Wish I was no one Take me up, my love Take me up today Take me out of this place Take me up with you today
