  • Hero to zero
    I pick up the bill
    The brake lights cast a red light
    And the road twists round the hill
    Lipstick on the backseat
    Saliva on the dash
    I've clawed my way out of here before
    But I keep on coming back

    I push and you tend to shove
    I give in and you don't give up
    I'm not getting out of here this time
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight
    I kick and you like to punch
    I'm unhinged and you're undone
    I'm not getting out of here alive
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight, ooh
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight, ooh

    Hero to zero at 60mph
    My eyes are getting wider with every word you say
    Intoxicated, higher than the ISS
    I've clawed my way out of here before
    But tonight I'm turning left

    I push and you tend to shove
    I give in and you don't give up
    I'm not getting out of here this time
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight
    I kick and you like to punch
    I'm unhinged and you're undone
    I'm not getting out of here alive
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight

    I push and you tend to shove
    I give in and you don't give up
    I'm not getting out of here this time
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight
    I kick and you like to punch
    I'm unhinged and you're undone
    I'm not getting out of here alive
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight, ooh
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight, ooh
    I brought a lemon to a knife fight Writer/s: Dan Haggis, Matthew Murphy, Matthew Smith Radosevich, Tord Øverland Knudsen
