Welcome to the show, it’s a goddamn masquerade
A merry-go-round for the club kids on parade
Indulgent scenery with a bunch of faces I’ve never seen
That’s when I say “Oh world, you’re telling me lies
And I can see the truth through my bloodshot eyes
I know you’re the devil in disguise”
But I can’t keep from coming back for
More! More! Just a little taste
More! More! Such a pretty face
So don’t you go holding out on me
Cause you wouldn’t want to be my enemy, you know
Give it to me!
Don’t be so clean kid, take a hit of gasoline
Show a little life, start a fight, and make an awful scene
Going to get what I want, don’t doubt it
No second thoughts about it, no
So listen to me! “Oh world, you’re telling me lies
And I can see the truth through my bloodshot eyes
I know you’re the devil in disguise”
But I can’t keep from coming back for
More! More! Just a little taste
More! More! Such a pretty face
So don’t you go holding out on me
Cause you wouldn’t want to be my enemy, you know
Give it to me!
Give me more! It’s a terrible world
Full of liars and ghosts
And we don’t know what we can’t know
The pain we’re hiding is starting to show
Give me more ‘til I can’t take no more!
More! More! Just a little taste
More! More! Such a pretty face
So don’t you go holding out on me
Cause you wouldn’t want to be my enemy, you know
I need more! More! Just a little taste
More! More! One more little chase
So don’t you go holding out on me
Cause you wouldn’t want to be my enemy, you know
Give it to me!
