lyrics

So let's start this sale with just one clearance item.
It'll do no harm to get this shit out of my wallet.
Or will it?
Let's start this night, let's start it off with just one kiss
The kind that could start a war, or the kind that could end it.
Don't end it.

I know I could do this right
I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night
I know I could turn you on
I know I could really fuck this up before night turns to dawn

Start this party; start it off with a backbeat
Then get her in the room and then get her on her feet
Start this story - greet the city with this ending:
Love means so much, and rules are for bending...
There are no endings.

I know I could do this right
But I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night
I know I turn you on
But I know I could really fuck this up and sleep straight through a dawn

The painting is wrapped in plastic. I say ‘is’ because it was in my most recent memory and they rarely visit the basement. Beauty. I think that's what I'd call that painting. I think that's what I’d call Angeline’s room. I think that's what I’d call Angeline. Honesty. Honesty and beauty and friendship. Love. This isn't a love story, but this might be the most important thing I say: Don’t lie to those that you love. Don’t claim to love those who you don’t trust.

So start a war
So start a war
So start a war
So start a war
So start a war
So start a war

I know I could do this right
But I know I could really fuck this up before we hit the night
I know I turn you on
But I know I could really fuck this up and sleep straight through a dawn
