Black cigarette on red velvet lips.
Black painted eyes that keep your tongue tied tight.
Hell hath no fury
Hell hath no…
Hell hath no fury
Hell hath no…
Voice so sugar coated, make you sick to your stomach
Skin so soft, make you wanna touch it
But she’s poison, boy, make your blood boil.
The queen of hearts, make you loose your head.
Hell hath no fury
Hell hath no…
Hell hath no fury
Hell hath no…
Once full of love, now full of lust
Once full of love, now full of lust
She’s…
Too afraid, Too proud, Too deep now to let it go.
Hell hath no fury
Hell hath no…

I’ve been born, reborn and torn.
Weathered and leathered.
I’m afraid I can’t take much more.
Got to find some place better.
Somewhere I can make you shake.
Somewhere I can make you scream.
The world burns in my eyes, baby.
It’s a tragedy.
I’ve kicked the bee’s nest again.
I’ve kicked the bee’s nest with something fierce.
Sticking pins in my skin. Sticking pins in my skin
Till I’m bled dry. I’m bled bone dry.
I make the earth shake, to keep the world awake.
I make the earth shake, to keep the world awake.
Oh, I mad.
But I’m not scared!
I’ve bitten my tongue
Too much lately.
Been bleeding out both sides of my mouth
Just to keep you happy
Now my tongue sharp like a knife, brother.
Lips loose like a cannon.
The world burns in my eyes, mother.
Oh, can you imagine!
I’ve kicked the bee’s nest again.
I’ve kicked the bee’s nest with something fierce.
Sticking pins in my skin. Sticking pins in my skin.
Till I’m bled dry. Till I’m bled bone dry.
I make the earth shake, to keep the world awake.
I make the earth shake, to keep the world awake.
Oh I’m mad! Oh, I’m mad.
I make the earth shake, to keep the world awake.
Oh, I mad. But I’m not scared!
Know what you know and have the courage to say it.
Have the courage to stick by it.
Don’t be afraid if other’s don’t buy it.
You need not hold back in life, instead, go against the grain.
Challenge yourself.
Shout it loud: “I’m mad! And I’m not scared!”

Ok, I get it.
I was too much
Too much inside my head.
Ok, I get it.
I made too much
Too much of a scene, love.
Ruined what could’ve been love. oh…
I want to tell you
The changes I made,
How happy I am.
And I really am…
I want to tell you
How beautiful you
You really are
And you really are.
In light of it all
Despite it all
I get it.
In light of it all, despite it all! (x2)
You’re so put-together, love
And I love it. I really do…
Your confidence inspires me
And I wouldn’t have it any other way, love.
The things I would do
I would do to you
So you could see it, see it too.
See what I could see, feel what I could feel
See what I could see, feel what I could feel
See what I could see, feel what I could feel
See what I could see
In light of it all
Despite it all
I get it.
In light of it all, despite it all! (x2)

You got a bee’s nest round your head
Looks like you’re buzzing constantly
Keep a straight line, keep a locked eye, your best foot forward.
Navigate your honeycomb, oh.
Your vision’s a catacomb.
“I’m fine, I swear I’m fine.” Oh-oh, no.
That famous last line. Oh-oh, no.
Shape up or ship out.
Do you wanna die?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna —
Clench your fists so tight your blood retreats
Skin clings desperately to the bone, just begging.
What a neat trick, what a cheap thrill, an expensive habit.
If you’re not careful, you’ll die alone. Oh.
Still stuck in that catacomb
“I’m fine, I swear I’m fine.” Oh-oh, no.
That famous last line. Oh-oh, no.
Shape up or ship out.
Do you wanna die?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna die?
When every weekend, when every weekend is a blur.(x3)
Shape up or ship out!
Do you wanna die?
Do you wanna? Do you wanna? Do you wanna die?

Sleep, sleep…is overrated.
Sleep, sleep…is overrated.
Your eyes, they crackle, with a fire unmatched.
You lit me up, and I get no rest. No rest.
You kiss me up, and down, down.
Sleep, sleep…is overrated
Sleep, sleep…is overrated.

I’m no ghost, and I’m not afraid
I’m no ghost, son. I’m just whistling past the grave. (x2)
Ya, son, I’m done talking to you. You never listen. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
Ya, son, I’m letting it go, it’s not worth fixing. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
Ya, son, I’m done talking. You never listen.
I’m no fool, but I got a sense of humor.
Ya, I’m no fool, just laughing with the Devil.
Ya, son, I’m done talking to you. You never listen. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
Ya, son, I’m letting it go, it’s not worth fixing. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
Ya, son, I’m done talking. You never listen.
There’s no cause for alarm.
Because I’m not armed.
No need to be alarmed.
Because I’ve been disarmed.
And that muscle I lack…
And that iron I lack…
And that blade I lack…
You’ll find it in your back, ha.
You’ll find it in your back, ha.
You’ll find it in your back….
Shame on me for being fooled so easily
Shame on me, for giving you everything I had.
Shame on me, for giving you all my love
Now there’s nothing left, but the scars in my chest.
Shame on me for being fooled so easily
Shame on me, for giving you everything I had.
Shame on me, for giving you all my love, boy.
Shame on me, shame, shame…
Ya, son I’m letting it all go! Oh-oh. Oh-oh.
Ya, son, I’m done talking…you never…listen.
