Lyrics

Alpha Dog

It's just another minor speeding offence, but it's not your fault
Please don't apologise, this was how you were born
Please hurt me, hurt me
Please hurt me, hurt me
Feels like you are alpha dogging me
But I'm calm about who you are

Sorry for what I said, it was the other me, you see
Spitting out truths, nylon cream suits
Dripping with fear, democracy of freaks
Silent fantasies, I don't belong

It's just another minor speeding offence, but it's not your fault
Please don't apologise, this was how you were born
Feels like you are alpha dogging me
But I'm calm about who you are

Sorry for what you did, lust from your brow
Forget about tomorrow, no one's ashamed
We're the ones you're scared of, I'm the one you need
Unpredictable 'til fun is needed

It's just another minor speeding offence, but it's not your fault
Please don't apologise, this was how you were born
Feels like you are alpha dogging me
But I'm calm about who you are

Please hurt me, hurt me
Please hurt me, hurt me
Please hurt me, hurt me
Please hurt me, hurt me

All this world of mine
All this world of mine
All this world of mine
All this world of mine
All this world of mine
All this world of mine
All this world of mine
All this world of mine
All this world of mine
All this world of mine
