I'm probably going to throw you over

I'm probably going to throw you over

'Cause your heart is like a wheel

It'll turn and crush you under its heel

Oh baby I know how you feel

'Cause I'm probably going to throw you over

I'm probably going to hold you hostage

I'm probably going to hold you hostage

'Cause you'll rarely see me well

So you'll just believe each story I tell

Hope springs as eternal as hell

'Cause I'm probably going to hold you hostage

Oh, say, can you see by

The light of my dreams

The delusions and the plotting and schemes...

And if you could tell by

The rocket's red glare

You could see yourself that nobody's there

'Cause I'm probably going to hold you hostage

I'm probably going to pull you under

I'm probably going to pull you under

'Cause a love is not a kiss

And a win is not this shoddy near-miss

How sad that you drove me to this

'Cause i'm probably going to pull you under

Oh, say, can you see by

The light of my dreams

The delusions and the plotting and schemes...

And if you could tell by

The rocket's red glare

You could see yourself that nobody's there

'Cause I'm probably going to pull you under
