Careful Who You Dance With - Parenthetical Girls

He’s eager to lead, squeezed six in this taxi’s backseat

His animal’s grace, his heart breaks in spit-take

And we run these streets, with tongues neatly tucked in our cheeks

We’re easy to please, we’re equally cheap meat

Be careful who you dance with

Somebody’s bound to get his head kicked in

This wasn’t how we planned it

And now don’t go asking where we’ve been

We’re all reckless romantics

Why fight the function we’ve been furnished with?

There’s no good way to say this,

Then just to take it on the chin

Left limp and wrist traits spit with his salivate kid

They know where you live

They know who I’ve been with

And kicked in the ribs

Some kid with his sibilant lips

He knows what he did

And the lads left him lifeless

Be careful who you dance with

Somebody’s bound to get his head kicked in

This wasn’t how we planned it

So don’t go asking where we’ve been

We’re all reckless romantics

Why fight this function we’ve been furnished with?

There’s no good way to say this,

That’s just to take it on the chin.
