So play it softly baby, play it slow
Let's take our time, remember no one knows
A lonely portal drifting in the air
You're only half way 'til you're there
How many bottles does it take 'til it counts as a role?
How many bodies does it take to be found in a hole?
Hold the lies for us
Hold the line for us now
Until the counts are ready and the debts all get to come home
You think you're right but still that don't help me
And what we are is rarely what we'll be
The world is calling, go and take a chance with the horrible dance
And don't come home 'til the stones are put in a hole
How many weeks 'til you capture the goal?
How many pieces does it take to encounter the whole?
Hold the lies for us
Hold the lines for us now
Until the cowards ready and the dads all get to come home
How many bottles does it take 'til it counts as a role?
How many bodies does it take to be found in a hole?
Hold the lies for us
Hold the line for us now
Until the counts are ready and the debts all get to come home
