You couldn't tell by the tone that I want you? 
You couldn't guess from the vibe that you're mine? 
Shot glasses, Burnt out cigarettes 
You wanted nothing, baby get in line 

I couldn't stay but I thought you'd be waiting 
Holding your breath while I wore out the crown 
Clock freezes, no changes in scenery 
I close my eyes and you opened the ground 

So I watch and I wait and I pace 
You gave me rope, so I'm hanging around 

Bad blood is maybe what we need tonight in our veins 
Bad blood, we're dancing on the edge of the knife 
Can you feel it? 
Tonight we bring our bodies to life 
 [bad word] crawling back through the cracks in your window 
I'm seeping into your skin through the walls 
Grand delusions of petty criminals 
If I'm not everything I'm nothing at all 

So I watch and I wait and I pace 
You give me rope, so i'm hanging around 

Bad blood is maybe what we need tonight in our veins 
Bad blood, we're dancing on the edge of the knife 

Can you feel it? 
Tell me, can you feel it? 

Bad blood is maybe what we need tonight in our veins 
Bad blood, Im crashing right in front of your eyes 
Can you feel it? 
Tonight we bring our bodies to life 

Where was I when you thought I crossed the line? 
Where was I when the gears began to grind? 
Where was I when the band kept playing on? 
Where was I when you knew I was wrong? 

Bad blood is maybe what we need tonight in our veins 
Bad blood, we're dancing on the edge of the knife 
Can you feel it? 
Tell me, can you feel it? 

Bad blood is maybe what we need tonight in our veins 
Bad blood, Im crashing right in front of your eyes 
Can you feel it? 
Tonight we bring our bodies to life [bad word] on baby get in line 
Tonight we bring our bodies to life
