I'm gonna die with my boots on baby
They're gonna lay me down in an unmarked grave
Should you dare to get too familiar
I'll just tip my hat and be on my way
I'm a matchbook story
Good God, I set your city alight
The bad girls bore me
Good boys they never get it
Good boys they never tell it right
I get around it
I get around it
I get around it
'Cause good loving takes too long
I'll be the lonesome song that shuts your mouth
I'll be the trembling fear dripping from your lips
I'l be the steel that cuts your tongue out
That you might not taste my cinema kiss
And tell me I set your little heart on fire
But don't weight up for me
Don't waste your time wondering
Don't waste your time wondering why
I get around it
(Nowhere to lead me astray)
I get around it
(Won't put the stay in mistake)
I get around it
'Cause good loving takes too long
I'm a ghost told story
Gone with the morning light
No arms to hold me
I slip through the covers
Spurn the sun and saddle the moonlight
I get around it
(More like you're getting afraid)
I get around it
(More like you're running away)
I get around it
(Nowhere to lead me astray)
I get around it
(Won't put the stay in mistake)
I get around it
'Cause good loving takes too long
