All along the western front People line up to receive. She got the power in her hand To shock toi like toi won't believe. Saw her in the amazon With the voltage running through her skin Standing there with nothing on She gonna teach me how to swim I a dit ooh girl Shock me like an electric eel Baby girl Turn me on with your electric feel I a dit ooh girl Shock me like an electric eel Baby girl Turn me on with your electric feel All along the eastern shore Put your circuits in the sea This is what the world is for Making electricity You can feel it in your mind Oh toi can...

Do toi ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do toi ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do toi ever feel already buried deep six feet under?
Scream but no one seems to hear a thing
Do toi know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause, baby, you're a firework
Come on, montrer 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As toi shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst...

Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world

In another life
I would make toi stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was June and toi were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on (Whoa)

Someone...

I'm used to opening my own doors and splitting the checks
He introduced me, was always just a friend
I bought a new dress, he never noticed
Always falling for these bad boys, such a challenge
I'm getting tired, of cleaning up after them
I think I'm ready to be a woman

Oh love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it

You were such a surprise
An unexpected gift
Said I was pretty, and I believed it
Not really used to all this attention
Told myself I don't deserve you
And this is just a phase
Could I get used to, being loved the right way?
I wanna argue, but there is nothing to say

Oh love, I think I'm ready
Ready for...

If toi came par me would I crown toi my King
Or brush toi off as though I really didn't see
If toi walked par my side would our souls then be unified
I swore Your name would never be denied

But I took up this hammer
And laughed at all Your slander
And pierced Your hands
With the nails of blasphemy
How could I do this? I don't know
Said something forced me to it, so
Spit in Your face and passed toi by
(I'd forgotten those words "your name won't be denied")

But time and time again I'd live that life of sin
I knew it hurt toi bad but I wasn't ready to give in
"Maybe someday," but not this jour I said
I wanted to...

I leave the gas on
Walk the allies in the dark
Sleep with candles burning
I leave the door unlocked
I'm weaving a rope and
Running all the red lights
Did I get your attention
Cause I'm sending
All the signs and
The clock is ticking
And I'll be giving
My 2 weeks

Pick your favorite
Shade of black
You'd best
Prepare a speech
Say something funny
Say something sweet
But don't say
That toi loved me

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm still breathing
Though we've been
Ddead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're goin down for sure
Already Lost a grip
Best abandon ship

Maybe I was too pale
Maybe I was too fat
Maybe toi wanted better
Better...

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try toi on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cerise chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in l’amour tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
You're my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what, good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed...
