Cheekbones and hormones   Your only self-defense   Lying through dinner   And your rock and roll teeth again   You've harbored a coward   Fed him full of broth   This nocturnal sadness   Leave you pale as this tablecloth   Careful don't you spill your dinner   That would be a good defense   Then you wouldn't have to sit here   On the fence      Cheekbones and hormones   He's the accidental man   Tell you in a stage whisper   About the boy who cried benefit   As the poet drags the darkness   Within him to the light   It's only in self-defense   That they drag you out into the night   Careful don't you spill your dinner   That would be your best defense   Careful what you wish for      An idiot and a genius   Standing up to dine   Breaking manmade laws   Cause I only follow those that are divine   And only when you're chased   Do you ever run fast   And it's wrong to commit a suicide   It's only in self-defense
