  • Tonight we'll both go M.I.A
    In different towns but in similar ways
    I've tried my best, best to forget
    But I can't, I can't, I can't

    Tonight we'll scratch each other's face
    If it's in the moment no one complains
    I tried my best to move along
    But I can't, I can't, I can't

    Kiss me with your fist it's all right
    Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind
    I'm permanent, now I won't go
    I just wanna be your shadow

    Just one more uptempo tune
    The suits don't care if their feet aren't blue
    Are you aware of whats going on
    In my heart, my heart, my heart
    Those machine gun eyes, fire crystals into me
    You're such a violent high
    And I'm such a loose cannon can't you see?

    Kiss me with your fist it's all right
    Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind
    I'm permanent, now I won't go
    I just wanna be your shadow

    Have a bus drive it over my rib cage
    Snap my bank cards and throw them at my face
    I'm permanent now I won't go
    I just wanna be your shadow

    And I just want to be sum of your broken parts
    And I just want to be the creature of the dark
    And I just want to be sum of your broken parts
    And I just want to be your creature of, your creature of the dark

    I just wanna be your shadow

    Kiss me with your fist it's all right
    Wrap your hands around my throat I won't mind
    I'm permanent, now I won't go
    I just wanna be your shadow Writer/s: Daniel Joseph Haggis, Matthew Edward Murphy, Tord Oeverland Knudsen
