Running With Scissors

On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Lifting up the lid to leave a sorry mess and show
On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Everyday another way of stretching out a freak show

She'll set the trail and watch you follow
An open window means a free tomorrow
A missing sheet and some composure
Is all she needs to grant her closure

Of love lost and promises broken
Of love lost and promises broken

And little eyes and awkward dances
All accusations refuse advances
From where you stand she makes no motion
To portray the horror and commotion

With love lost and promises broken
With love lost and promises broken

On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Lifting up the lid to leave a sorry mess and show
On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Everyday another way of stretching out a freak show

A girl so still, she makes no sound
But still they come from all the nation
To watch the purest of the war
Answer for sins that defy explanation

So you can search and never find
While in your bones you know the guilty
And as she slips between the lines
The trust in you grieves just as quickly

With love lost and promises broken
With love lost and promises broken

On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Lifting up the lid to leave a sorry mess and show
On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Everyday another way of stretching out a freak show

One hundred theories to consider
And one by one love moves away
But with the lies will compromise
Even the stoutest heart can be prized, don't cry

My love lost and promises broken
My love lost and promises broken

On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Lifting up the lid to leave a sorry mess and show
On and on and on and on and on and on we go
Everyday another way of stretching out a freak show

Running with her is like running with scissors
One tiny slip and she'll cut you to slippers
Running with her is like running with scissors
One tiny slip and she'll cut you to slippers
Running with her is like running with scissors
Running with her is like running with scissors
