lyrics

take me to the coastline way down south
let me hear your frozen, black heart beating out
people use their fists you just use your mouth
won't you teach me baby how to twist and shout
better buy yourself new friends tonight
ring around the rosie, pull the plug
bent on raising hell and you're just sporting a mug
like you buy you can't dance, you're no fun
you're slowly but surely eating us one by one
better buy yourself new friends tonight

you should know something's wrong when you gotta ask
the beer is gone you're alone and they booked it fast
take your place at the bar as your part of the cast
pay the waitress a dollar for your new past
