Lyrics The Pink Spiders

The Pink Spiders

Stranglehold

Oh my god,

Tied up to entertain the firing squad

I gotta hand it to you

I-I-I don't know why you're so trigger-happy,

I-I-I suppose you're gonna tell me

Tick, tick, tick,

My heart's the bomb that's going 2-4-6

This isn't easy, singin'

"I-I-I don't know why you do it to me,

I-I-I don't know why you bait me"

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

We go back and forth together,

'Cause she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows

She's no good for me

So we go, we go, we go, we go

Runnin' round and round in circles

In this goddamn stranglehold

Dead cassettes unwound,

I need another cigarette

Jet setter alligator,

I-I-I don't know, know no chaos theory -

I-I-I can't even spell my name in cursive

She's so cool

She's such a temperamental animal

She's locked and loaded, singin'

"I-I-I don't know why you do it to me,

I-I-I won't go, go, go, go"

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

We go back and forth together,

'Cause she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows

She's no good for me

So we go, we go, we go, we go

Runnin' round and round in circles

In this goddamn strangleho-o-old

In this goddamn strangleho-o-old

You're coming on so strong,

Seems it won't be long before we're

Twisted into a knot on

The floor of this elevator

You're coming on so strong,

It seems it won't be long before we're

Twisted into a knot on

The floor of this elevator

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

We go back and forth together,

'Cause she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows

She's no good for me

So we go, we go, we go, we go

Runnin' round and round in circles

In this goddamn strangleho-o-old

In this goddamn strangleho-o-old

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

We go round, round, round in a strangleho-old

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

We go round, round, round in a strangleho-old

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

We go round, round, round in a strangleho-old

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh

We go round, round, round in a strangleho-old
