Now, I’m no stranger
to Spandex. Skinny jeans, I can handle’em
Shit, I was 15 rockin’
Speedos on the swim team
This New Avengers
uniform is nothin’ demandin’
Skin-tight’s the job
requirement, don’t misunderstand it
But the plan get got
dicey when I ran into her
At the Gwen Stacey
Memorial Fundraiser in New York
She flew up on me
like, “You must be-“ I said, “Right now, I’m Toussaint
Let’s keep it to
government names and you are?”
The conversation
continued on and on
Until I realized the
fundraiser was long over, now, we’re closin’ bar.
I’m hopin’ for a good
night’s smashin’, heavy thunder clappin’
Up that mattress and
wakin’ up on time in the morning for the captain
She said, “You ever
get the feelin’, bad things are always gonna happen
No matter what we do?
Sometimes I wanna fuck
shit up beyond repair just for the hell of it.”
I said, “Excuse me, I
think I just fell in love with you”

CHORUS
Oooooh, oooooh, oooooh
I’d be a villain for
you
This city never loved
me the way you do
And I don’t owe’em
nothin’ but the coldness
I, Aiiiieee, Aiiiieee
Put the charges on me
Ain’t no way they
gonna catch us both
I love you to a slow
death
-
A little bit’a good, a
little bit’a bad
A whole lotta in
between
I mean, I got love for
my hood. I wish it was all I had
Cos’ the rest is
disappointment and grief
Now, I’m callin’ out
cops instead of holdin’ my breath
We’re all goin’ the
same direction, quick or a slower death
Peace and hysteria,
survivalist or ruthless
We honeymoon’n hard in
a room with a view from Doomstadt
I set a fire and tell
her that’s how much I love you
She punched a crater
in a planet and said, “I wanna touch ya”.
The balance is
fragile, you never know when you’ll lose it
Sometimes we’re not
meant to have control. I give into it
With my heart and
every artery pumpin’ poison to parts of me
She accepts whole
heartedly
Break somethin’ by
yourself and they’ll call ya a criminal
But it’s love when you
find someone to fuck shit up with you
-
CHORUS
