I think the only way we're getting this right

With a minimum of blood, a maximum of joy

Our only hope is becoming hopeless

No life with no surrender

Yeah, I need a little bit of restraint

Yeah, I need a little bit of restraint

I'm gonna need a little bit of restraint

Bring me them handcuffs

Now put 'em on

Bring me the handcuffs

Now put 'em on

Bring me the handcuffs

Well, your lips smack down on a bite of catastrophe

And it tastes like pain, much better than apathy

Oh, trust me, I need a little bit of restraint

Yeah, I need a little bit of restraint

I need a little bit of restraint

Bring me the handcuffs

Now put 'em on

Bring me the handcuffs

Now put 'em on

Now put 'em on

How strong I'll be if you'll just...

Bring me them handcuffs

Now put 'em on

Oh,bring me the handcuffs

Now put 'em on

Yeah, yeah, bring me the handcuffs

Can't you see the only way we're getting this right

A minimum of blood, a maximum of joy

Our only hope is becoming hopeless

To be liberated, to be elevated, to be illuminated

It don't just drip serenity, you've got to squeeze it out

It'll take a thirsty smile and the grip of a roustabout

You got your head worn down by the thought of the apogee

And it tastes like seawater, better than apathy

Yeah, suntanned, two toned, sucking ambrosia down

One night, one need, one free, one spellbound

Now put 'em on

Put 'em on
