[Verse 1]

Inside your plastic head, you make decisions

Upon her lemon world, they fall forever

Break the chains that tie you to the ground

And bring you to your knees

Shake the chains that tie you to the earth

Shake the chains, shake the chains

Upon her willow hair, the sun relaxes

She's washed all tidal waves away from your disaster

Break the chains that tie you to the ground

And bind you to your mother

She will bind up your hands

Bind up your legs


[Chorus]

Bind up your heart and hold you down till you say you're sorry

She's been waiting for you forever now and now

Someone else's chapstick on your lips


[Verse 2]

To hide your cheery lies, you make excuses

In between each lemon breath

She smiles and swallows your abuses

Shake the chains that tie you to the ground

And bind you to your mother

She will bind up your hands

Bind up your legs


[Chorus]

Bind up your heart and hold you down till you say you're sorry

She's been waiting for you forever now and now

Someone else's chapstick on your lips

Say you're hungry, she's lying for you forever now and now


[Verse 3]

Someone put sorry in her hand, no no no no

Say your sorry, she's been waiting, waiting

Inside your plastic head, in between your laughter

You drowned in memory storms that fall forever after

She's someone else's lipstick now

She's someone else's matchstick now

She's someone else's witchcraft now

She's someone else's chapstick now, now, now
