Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come and steal a car with me
And we'll drive it to Belize
Just show me the dotted line
You know I'll sign it every time
[Verse 2]
Build a boat out of some leaves
And set sail for the Far East
I dream of the trouble we'll get in
How do you say "help!" in Mandarin?
[Chorus]
And we try to sit still and feel it all
But we'd rather run away than feel at all
You know I can't say no
Doing everything we can to increase the noise
And we don't care if it's trash that fills the void
You know I can't say no
I can't say
[Verse 3]
Let's go vandalise a hearse
Steal some cash from your mother's purse
And sign her up for a Ponzi scheme
She'll be rich in cheap face cream
[Verse 4]
Throw a bender in a cemetery
Bribe the dead to leave us be
We'll summon the demons that we repress
Swallow a shot glass, then get undressed
[PreChorus]
Every bad idea just feels exactly like a great idea
[Chorus]
And we try to sit still and feel it all
But we'd rather run away than feel at all
You know I can't say no
Doing everything we can to increase the noise
And we don't care if it's trash that fills the void
You know I can't say no
[Verse 5]
Come and steal a car with me
And we'll drive it to Belize
Just show me the dotted line
You know I'll sign it every time
[Verse 6]
Throw a bender in a cemetery
And behind bars we'll reconvene
I can't say what the future holds
All I know is I can't say, can't say no
