We used to say we were in like Flynn
Red rockets and we were in
And the hairline fracture in my ankle bone
Aches just enough to remind me that I'm alone

And the black cat seems so far away
Even though it was only yesterday
Even though it was only yesterday

There'll be no explosions tonight, no matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright as you're walking by?

We were shaking down the reptile house
(We were shakin', yeah we were shakin')
Bottle rockets without a doubt

And the blood sweat shivers running through these veins
(we were shakin', yeah we were shakin')
It kills me to know some things will never be the same

And the big black seems so far away
Even though it was only yesterday
Even though it was always yesterday

There'll be no explosions tonight, no matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright as you're walking by?
There'll be no explosions tonight, no matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright? You're just walking by

It's all or nothing at all, or nothing at all

You always said that it was just for kicks
The blue baby needs another fix
I was the lifter, now these broken bones
They ache just enough to remind me that I'm alone

There'll be no explosions tonight, no matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright as you're walking by?
There'll be no explosions tonight, no matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright? You're just walking by

It's all or nothing at all
