Just when I thought it was safe to go out   The boys have their knives out   That said, I’ve got to do this for you anyway   One balloon, one canon ball      This city has got a hold on you   The electricity is getting stronger [stronger]   A friction of a head butt [Stalemate]   Why do we compromise our dreams? [Stalemate, It's a Stalemate]   And on and on it goes [on and on]   And on and on and on and on [Stalemate, It's a Stalemate]   For once in my life, I love to feel my instincts sweeten [Stalemate, It's a Stalemate]   And I always seem to owe you an apology [Stalemate, It's a Stalemate]      And on and on, we diminish our self respect   Until there is none left   All I said “I've got to do this for you anyway" I jump, you summersault      This city has got a hold on you   The electricity is getting stronger [stronger]   A fury of a knife fight [Stalemate]   Why do we compromise our dreams? [Stalemate, It's a Stalemate]   And on and on it goes [on and on]   And on and on and on and on it goes [Stalemate, It's a Stalemate]   For once in my life, I love to feel my instincts sweeten [Stalemate, Stalemate]   And I always seem to owe you an apology [Stalemate, Stalemate]      Why do we compromise our dreams?   [Stalemate, Stalemate]   And on and on it goes [on and on]   And on and on and on and on it goes [Stalemate, Stalemate]   For once in my life, I love to feel my instincts sweeten [Stalemate, Stalemate]   And I always seem to owe you an apology [Stalemate, Stalemate]
