*VERSE*

i need protection…

to ease my mind…

i need protection…

the kind i hope we can find…

.

because i wasn’t protected then
now i’m in trouble again…

.

*CHORUS*

it seemed very simple…
to follow the model…
to swallow a bottle…
to pound down the throttle…

i asked for it over and over again…

i need protection…

.

PART 2:

i wanna be in trouble with you…

and hear your boyfriends go “boo hoo hoo”…

i wanna be in trouble with you…

.

PART 3:

don’t want another test
i wanna change the subject
i’ll give you all my best
and i know you’re gonna love it…

and then i’ll run my mouth again…

.

PART 4:

think fast little wild one
and feel my heat

think fast little wild one
release the beat

.

PART 5:

god is my only friend
i’m so fucking lazy
i’m so goddamned crazy

god is my only friend…

i asked for it over and over again…

i need protection…

.

PRE-OUTRO:

convicted of crimes that i never committed then…

now i’m in trouble again…

.

OUTRO:

o and so are we…
been running for miles
now prepare for arrival

tread carefully…
you murdered your rival
still you stick to denial

you can hide here with me…
stay here awhile
and we’ll hide out in style

o who are we?
(in the wee wee hours…)
(under sleepy stars)
