The Desperate Things You Make Me Do

Time provides the rope

But love will tie the slipknot

And I will be the chair you kick away

You don't even like anything you like

Or the people you know

And all of your reasons to stay alive died

(Chorus): I dedicate this song to you

For all the desperate things you made me do

I'd like to beat you black and blue

For all the agony you have put me through

Front seat stained with love

A back seat full of bibles

Purloined from the drawers of lost motels

They say when you're older you'll understand

You know it's a lie

'cause you've got a twisted and mangled heart

(Chorus)

Down Route 66

You pilfered love and green stamps

W.C. Fields with Mae West in your eyes

They say every clock's a blunt instrument

Crushing the skull

But you've got a vise to rest your head in

(C)
