lyrics

Tell me all the things you don't know
Click your heels and race the deadline
Your too cute to taste the shoeshine
So tell me all the things you don't know

More effort than it's worth to restrain
The space between your ass and keychain
We'll pick a spot to stop and freeze frame
So you can tell me all the things you don't know

Give me your heart its lungs
Give me your teeth their gums

It lifts you so high up and sinister
You search for a way to pine in the sunshine
And wait for the spire to rise and reveal itself
Tear through the wrinkled skin of all the has-beens
While children of God all lined up in uniform
Are conditioned to fix their stare on the impaired
Method that tries to drive with a steady hand
The rage of the forest fire
Bound in razor wire
Gently raining down
Onto sacred ground

Tell me all the things you don't know
Click your heels and race the deadline
Your too cute to taste the shoeshine
So tell me all the things you don't know
