lyrics

I’m a racket
I’m going to take it to your windshield
I’m a big deal, I’ve got vampire teeth
No nerves on my fingertips, I shred them all off
Walking streetwise, swing a cricket bat
Put it deep in your windshield
Until I’m covered in glass
Going to tip her
(Tip her ash tray)
Until I’m covered in her

I can’t live without your love in this life
I can’t live without your love in this life
I can’t live without your love in this life
I can’t live without your love in this life

I’m a racket and I’m hung up again
She’s been around again
Posing with her friends
Makes me tingle like a mountain fire-god,
I’m fraught, I’m a nervous wreck
Oh inciting, smiting mothers
Can I cash it all?
Might enlighten us
Weekends at the mall
Now I’m cursing her witchcraft
And I’m a witch-deft witch hunter
