We take it easy 
Tigers in a cage 
Pacing on our pads and waiting 
For the town [bad word] in revelry 
Our lazy bones ache for our dowry

Can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through 
What we invented I am now ending 
Hold on to who you love 
We are dry and blown like dust
Since we were young 
What we invented I am now ending 

The closest thing we had to royalty
chance to break our parents pattern 
You chose to keep your teenage tragedy 
In lieu of a romantic palace 

Play tender like a newborn baby would 
Play tender till the night is over 
I'm leaving you to nurse your cherished wounds 
And cover it just like your lover, yeah 

Can't hold on to the thrill 
So I hope you find your will to follow through 
What we invented I am now ending 
Hold on to who you love 
We are dry and blown like dust
Since we were young 
What we invented I am now ending 

Can't hold on to the thrill 
So I hope you find your will to follow through 
What we invented I am now ending 
Hold on to who you love 
We are dry and blown like dust
Since we were young 
The morning's over, the day is in full swing.
