Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I cannot name this
I cannot explain this
And I really don't want to
Just call me shameless
I can't even slow this down
Let alone stop this
And I keep looking around
But I cannot top this
[Verse 2]
If I had any sense
I guess I'd fear this
I guess I'd keep it down
So no one would hear this
I guess I'd shut my mouth
And rethink a minute
But I can't shut it now
'Cause there's something in it
[Verse 3]
We're in a room without a door
And I am sure without a doubt
They're gonna want to know how we got in here
And they're gonna want to know how we plan to get out
We better have a good explanation
For all the fun we had
'Cause they are coming for us, baby
They are going to be mad
Yeah, they're going to be mad at us
[Verse 4]
This is my skeleton
This is the skin it's in
That is according to light
And gravity
I'll take off my disguise
The mask you met me in
'Cause I got something for
For you to see
[Verse 5]
Just gimme your skeleton
Give me the skin it's in
Yeah, baby, this is you
According to me
And I never avert my eyes
I never compromise
So never, never mind
The poetry
[Verse 6]
We're in a room without a door
And I am sure without a doubt
They're gonna want to know how we got in here
And they're gonna want to know how we plan to get out
We better have a good explanation
For all the fun we had
'Cause they are coming for us, baby
And they are going to be mad
Yeah, they're going to be mad at us
[Verse 7]
I gotta cover my butt 'cause I covet
Another man's wife
I gotta divide my emotions
Into wrong and right
Then I get to see how close I can get to it
Without giving in
Then I get to rub up against it
Till I break the skin
Yeah, I get to rub up against it
Till I break the skin
[Verse 8]
They're gonna be mad at us
They're gonna be mad at me and you
They're gonna be mad at us
And all the things we want to do
[Verse 9]
They're gonna be mad at us
They're gonna be mad at me and you
They're gonna be mad at us
And all the things we want to do
[Verse 10]
Just please don't name this
Please don't explain this
Just blame it all on me
Just say I was shameless
Say I couldn't slow it down
Let alone stop it
And say you just hung around
'Cause you couldn't top it
