He said, "You're just as boring as everyone else,
When you tut, and you moan,
And you squeal, and you squelch."
He said, "You're just as boring as everyone else,
Nothing ever happens."

Things replace things
Days replace days
Things replace things

She said, "I'm going to use my teeth and my claws."
She said, "I'm going to use my teeth and my claws."
She said, "I'm going to use my teeth and my breasts,
I'm gonna make it happen"

She said, "Lets run run, run run run."

And you cannot run or ever, ever escape (Run run run, run run run)
And you cannot run or ever hideaway (Lets run run, run run run)
Something glorious is about to happen (Run run run, run run run)
The reckoning.

They go, "You're just as boring as everyone else,
When you tut, and you moan,
And you squeal, and you squelch."
They go, "You're just as boring as everyone else,
Stuck past timing."

The fear, and the yearning
The fear, and the consumption
The fear, and the yearning
It's gonna eat you alive
They go...

Lets run run, run run run

And you cannot run or ever, ever escape (Run run run, run run run)
And you cannot hide or ever, put it away (Lets run run, run run run)
Something glorious is about to happen (Run run run, run run run)
The reckoning.

They go... They say... They go... They say...

They go, "Why'd you have to get so hysterical?"
"Why'd you have to get so hysterical?"
"Why'd you have to get so hysterical?"
"Why'd you have to get so hysterical?"

"Why'd you have to get so hysterical?"
(Success, success, success, success is over)
"Why'd you have to get so hysterical?"
(Success, success, success, success is over)
"Why'd you have to get so hysterical?"
(Success, success, success, success is over)
"Why'd you have to get so hysterical?"
(Success, success, success, success is over)
"Why'd you have to get, so fucking useless!"

Play it cool boy
Play it cool boy
Play it cool boy
Play it cool boy
(Play it cool)
