Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling

But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper.

That's the magic of this band: shooting from the hip. The lights have to follow our cues, because we're not going to follow their cues. We're not going to stick to a song the way it's supposed to be. Everything is up to us. That's music to me. That's American music. We're an American band.

Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you.

It all comes down to nothing...
