I'm going to fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And a message coming from my eyes says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of Hell
And if I catch you coming back my way
I'm going to serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And a feeling coming from my bones says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera, forever more
I'm going to work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding
Right before my Lord
All the words are going to bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood tell me go back home

Oh, don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
Well, My fingers definitely turning to black now
yeeah
Maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeaah

My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
Well, The longer words are really breaking my back now
yeaah
Maybe I'll learn to understand,
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh, ahhh

Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
I'm practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage
Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeeaah

Listen master can you answer a question?
Is it the fingers, or the brain that you're teaching the lesson?
Oh, I can't tell you how proud I am
Writing down things I don't understand
Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeeaah
yeeeah, yeeeah, yeeeah

I saw you standing in the corner
On the edge of a burning light
I saw you standing in the corner
Come to me again, in the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night

You make me feel a little older
Like a full grown woman might
But when you're gone I grow colder
Come to me again in the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night

I see you walking by my front door
I hear the creaking of the kitchen floor
I don't care what other people say
I'm going to love you, anyway
Come to me again in the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night

I can't stand it any longer
I need the fuel to make my fire bright
So don't fight it any longer
Come to me again, in the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night

And I know that you feel it too
When my skin turns into glue
You will know that it's warm inside
And you'll come run to me
In the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night

You've got her in your pocket
And there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'cause it's at home sweet home

Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way
To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way
And you'll be there if she ever feels blue
And you'll be there when she finds someone new
What to do
Well you know

You keep her in your pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in a safe and lock it
'cause it's home sweet home

The smile on your face
made her think she had the right one
Then she thought she was sure
By the way you two could have fun

But now she might leave
Like she's threatened before
Grab hold of her fast
Before her feet leave the floor
And she's out the door
'cause you want

To keep you in my pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in a safe and lock it
'cause it's home sweet home

And in your own mind
You know you're lucky just to know her
And in the beginning
all you wanted was to show her
But now you're scared
You think she's running away
You search in your hand for something clever to say
Don't go away
'cause I want

To keep her in your pocket
Where there's no way out
Put it in a safe and lock it
'cause it's home sweet home
home sweet home
