Lyrics

I did a terrible thing
When I monkey-wrenched your circuitry
And when they finally got to me
I had built a monster worse than me
And far worse than you

And I have become such an ungrateful man -
Just to steal those words you whispered out
And I snickered in between
The check point, the boot hill, the ass in me
Says some things still best left unsheathed
Or out come the knives

So, retire to your ant hill
Or cover tire tracks
And learn to choke it back
And when they get to you, they'll see
I did a terrible thing
With a sober mind

Make no mistake;
I just couldn't stop the hand
But when you're happy and you're safe
You'll do anything to keep it that way

So, do you need the baseball bat
Or do you need something elite?
Do you need that to feel safe?
Do you need that to feel safe?

(For example)
Last night I took my sharpest blade
And I cut my tent another five inch slit
To make sure I get away

And when our weary heads
Hit our sleeping bags
The brutal honesty
Can tend to spill out, and me
I like to whisk you all away -
Whisk you all away
With my terrible mind

And when they finally get past
All of your once tightly seriesed
The check, the point, the charlies

And when we finally
And when they finally get past
All of your once tightly seriesed
The check, the point, the charlies

And when we finally
Get past their doors
We can hate these sinners
The way we hurt our fathers

I hear the boots up the hallway again
