Lyrics:

verse1

It¥s all in your mind, she said the darkness and the light

the clock it bleeds for you,but you never got the time in right

i woke you up and i slit the throat of your confidence

and we laughed in the night, and i felt all right.

verse2

All hands on deck boys ¥cause this ship was made to sink

your swabber salutes younow, but i know what he¥s thinking

i woke you up and i slit the throat of your confidence

and we laughed in the night, and it felt all right.

Chorus

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot don¥t even know

Thanks a lot

Verse3

The clothes she wears mis-fit, and she¥s nervous when she speaks

her zombie mom and dad live in a separate house of freaks

i woke you up and i slit the throat of your confidence

and we laughed in the night, and i felt all right.

Chorus

Bridge

I¥m the one for you

¥cause i know all the dirty things you like to do

i¥m the fear in your eyes

i¥m the fire in your flies

i¥m the sound that buzzling around your head.

Chorus

If anyone can figure out the intro to

îLosing a whole yearî please send it to me.
