Verse 1
This place gives a much needed face
To the kind of town that should be burnt down
No makeup is needed to see who around here is a clown
You bring the fire
I'll bring the gasoline
I think the setting alone looks menacing
Chorus
Needles and newspapers strewn about
Shapeshifters drive straight through the roundabout
Takes an eraser to all the moments we shared
Forget the smiles, recall when tempers flared
Needles and newspapers line the sidewalk
You were told of them both, step on them in shock
Verse 2
Elevator music loudly plays
The soundtrack to all of our forays
Lingering attraction always stays
We smolder like heat from a fireplace
Sometimes forever looks like only two years
Watch the serpent cry her crocodile tears
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
Looking for the heart of a maniac
Like searching for a needle in a haystack
Conjecture protects her or so she thinks
Our love was perfect but one of us was a jinx
But what's a life without a little heartbreak
What's a fight like that you didn't make
Chorus
Needles and newspapers strewn about
Choose one to be your way out
Takes an eraser to all the moments we shared
Forget the smiles, recall when tempers flared
Needles and newspapers line the sidewalk
But why read, when you can just talk?
