lyrics

You’re swiping right and posting notes that we should hang around
Acting like we’re just some kind of pair
But as soon as I swipe back, you have to shove me to the ground
You turn and walk away from me like you don’t even care

You’re calling me and telling me that you think this is right
Pretending like you’re so damn sweet and pure
But you stab me in the back the second you’re out of my sight
I think I’m starting to get sick now, and this doesn’t have a cure

I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you screaming down the Milky Way

You’re lying in the grass now and you’re sharpening your claws
Stalking me like you’re some kind of lion
But then you walk away from me without the slightest pause
I’m getting the impression it’s like you ain’t even tryin’

You’re sitting on your mountain top and lowering your horns
Charging me like you’re some kind of Ram
So I think you’re gonna smile at me, but all I see is scorn
And then you drop me like a rock because you couldn’t give a damn

I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you running down the Milky Way

You’re sneaking through the dark night with your eyes all glowing red
Your tails up just like you’re about to sting
And you won’t hesitate before you kick me out of bed
You’re cussin’ and you’re dissin’ me like it don’t mean a thing

You’ve got your pincers out now, and you’re ready to attack
Crawling up like you’re some kind of crab
But I know all your tricks, so I will never turn my back
Ripping out my heart until there’s nothing left to stab

I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you crawling down the Milky Way

You’re lying to my face now and pretending that we’re cool
But I’m not buying ‘cos that don’t carry water
I’m not sure how much more I’ll let you play me for a fool
It’s like I am your lamb now and you’re leading me to slaughter

You’re crouching down and taking aim with me in your crosshairs
It’s like you’re gonna shoot me with an arrow
But it can’t be any worse than if you kicked me down the stairs
When you laugh and fly away from me like you’re some kind of sparrow

I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you flying down the Milky Way

You’re stomping at the ground now like you’re gearing up to strike
Snorting round like you’re some kind of bull
Quit telling me the things you think that I am gonna like
Feeding me your crap until my brain has gotten full

You strut around and beat your chest to try to make me swoon
Braying like you’re some kind of a goat
I thought that you might be the one to put me on the moon
And now I’m sitting up a creek without a paddle or a boat

I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you charging down the Milky Way

You’re weighing me and measuring like I’m a piece of meat
Judging like you put me on a scale
I don’t know how much longer I can tolerate your heat
Leaving me to think that it is time for me to bail

You’re luring me into a net to toss me in a lake
Swimming round like you’re some kind of fish
I’m at the end of how much more abuse I’m gonna take
It’s like you want us to be done and now you’re gonna get your wish

I’m gonna grab you like the snake you are
And smash your head with my guitar
And toss you out, who knows how far
Until you’re past the highest star
It’s time for me to make you pay
There’s nothing left for me to say
I’ll kick you out like Pluto
And send you swimming down the Milky Way
