i'm not about to lose my cool in apologetic rocket fuel
but then i feel it rising in the back of my neck
guess there’s no surprising offensive dialect
now i'm not about to forget your name
but you'll have won my first born son if i get it wrong again
i'm all about a fantasy
but never try and start a war with something you can't see
she was waving politely
she was out in the crowd
she was a beacon of light
in the dead of the night
we blew the fire out
now i'm not about to just say your name
but you'll become a distant sun and alien again
i'm not about to break what bends
but never try and start a war that you can't win
she was waving politely
she was out in the crowd
she was a beacon of light
in the dead of the night
we blew the fire out
she's trying to spite me with her head in the clouds
it was black it was white be it wrong be it right
we blew the fire out
