lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's hard to have patience when you're waiting on luck
Like a postal truck, like a postal truck
To bring you a love as tough as elephant tusks
No chance of rust, no chance of rust

[Verse 2]
When searching for a reason, he could only find one
He said "You're just no fun, you're just no fun"
And if seeing you naked wasn't such a bargain
It would be a home run, it would be a home run
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I think I'm taking for granted
Every person that I've dated
Tells me I'm intimidating
Like a snake that's busy preying, hmm

[Verse 3]
I wanna be as dangerous as a dancing dragon
Or a steam engine, a loaded gun
Being loved for my hazard and a will to destruct
And isn't that just love, a will to destruct

[Bridge 2]
Isn't that just love
When you're no fun?
Isn't that just love?

[Outro]
So, you've cried every night in your bed
So, the plans worked better in your head
So, the knife is your date for the night
And the pill is your thrill for awhile
You'll miss out, you'll never wear those clothes out
And you'll regret the parties you've painted in bed
Don't feel sorry for showing up tardy
Don't be sorry for missing the party
'Cause somebody's party is missing you, too
