Well aren't we looking, oh so recklessly, extravagent

With cancer clentched, between your teeth

With amber eyes, and porcelain skin, porcelain skin

Slow down

I want out

Slow down, I

Want out

You're nothing more

Than all the rest

Just teeth and bones

Teeth and teeth and bones

Enclosed in flesh

And just like the smoke

That billows from your lips

Your words have a way

Of causin' me to choke

As they move from your mouth

And dance across your fingertips

Meticulously, work their way around

My throat, around my throat

Slow down

I Want out

Slow down, I

Want out

You're nothing more

Than all the rest

Just teeth and bones

Teeth and teeth and bones

Enclosed in flesh

You had me (You had me)

You had me going-

You had me (You had me)

You had me going-

(That's quite the story baby)

You're nothing more

Than all the rest

Just teeth and bones

Teeth and teeth and bones

And closing flesh
