I have a choice between the bat or the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you've been delt
Spare me confession
It's confession you sell
Maybe I'll fall behind
But I don't mind
Because I'll catch up

Want a song that's indelibe
Like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up

Will I be happy on the back of the shelf?
Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell
Spare me your questions since you know me so well
Someday you'll realize
That I get shy and I choke up

Want a song that's indelible
Like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up

What is wrong with this animal
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Farewell my sweet paramania
Farewell my sweet paramania

My only promise is that I'll never tell
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I'll bite the bullet
Take the beating
Until I take it back anyway
What was I supposed to say?

Want a song that's indelible
Like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal
I'm terrible
I hope you never see me wind up
