The Nineties

[Chorus] On the list of things that just might kill me You're right behind quicksand in the nineties, baby With a lot of things that never will be It's like a minefield Stay on the line, please, baby Stay on the line, please Stay on the line, please [Verse 1] Sometimes, always, I get nervous Always something out to hurt us Sticks and stones can break my bones But words, they hurt Lightning strikes, it's been a long time It's my fault, I'm on a fault line Take the blame, of course, it's all mine It gеts worse [Chorus] On the list of things that just might kill me You'rе right behind quicksand in the nineties, baby With a lot of things that never will be It's like a minefield Stay on the line, please, baby Stay on the line, please Stay on the line, please [Post-Chorus] Check behind the curtain Open up the back seat Check for strangers Unfamiliar persons Yet another, lastly Plan for danger [Verse 2] Standing when I should be running Crying out but no one's coming Mouth full of blood, I feel nothing Fight or flight, I find I'm freezing Two steps forward, I stop breathing Paralyzed by lies, but leaving hurts the most [Chorus] On the list of things that just might kill me You're right behind quicksand in the nineties, baby With a lot of things that never will be It's like a minefield Stay on the line please, baby [Post-Chorus] Check behind the curtain Open up the back seat Check for strangers Unfamiliar persons Yet another, lastly Plan for danger [Bridge] Matters of exposure What you don't know now Will hurt you later Oxygen, mask down Help yourself now Or you can't help you later [Outro] On the list of things that just might kill me You're right behind quicksand in the nineties Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide Having a breakdown, having to lay down Waiting on read While running a red light Holes in the ozone Calls from the home phone Unanswered texts and sudden deafness Deadly diseases Everyone leaving Everyone leaving, everyone leaving
