Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was a timid, Rockwellian boy

She was tattooed and ready to deploy

Gave me reservations and the like

For she could be the dangerous type

But I threw caution

'Cause something about that yin and the yang

Was pushing my boundaries out beyond my imagining

[Verse 2]

While you were out there chewing on fat

For probable cause, I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

I struck my name from the camouflage

I wasn't lost in the collage

I was imploding the mirage

I was imploding the mirage

[Verse 3]

I had to do it, I had no other choice

You've got to listen to the inside voice

A bullet train will get you there fast

But it won't guarantee a long last

Sometimes it takes a little bit of courage and doubt

To push your boundaries out beyond your imagining

[Verse 4]

While you were out there chewing on fat

For probable cause, I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

I struck my name from the camouflage

I wasn't lost in the collage

I was imploding the mirage

I was imploding the mirage

[Verse 5]

I was spellbound by the show

The matchless power of the glow

I was bound by golden shackles

Getting by

She tripped the breaker, blew the fuse

Doesn't need no pair of shoes

Her wings have come

And she's ready for the sky

[Verse 6]

While you were out there chewing on fat

For probable cause, I let go

While you were out there weighing odds

I was imploding the mirage

While you were out there looking like that

I walked right out of the camouflage

I wasn't locked in the collage

I was imploding the mirage

I was imploding the mirage
