Lyrics

Catapult

It's my shout

This wine is melting the bounds

Between good taste

And what I might say

Matador

Swing your blood red cape

Ole, Ole

I was born an asshole

You've seen the best in me and you've seen the worst of me

So don't expect me to be not thinking out loud

You've seen the best in me and you've seen the beast in me

So don't expect me to be not thinking out loud

I'm not thinking out loud

I'm not thinking out loud

I'm just thinking out loud

Don't ask this songbird

To hide his song lines

Blown my alibi

Don't ask this songbird

To hide his song lines

Sing what's on my mind

Double life

Is surely breaking my back

I can't fly

But I can Catapult

You've seen the best in me and you've seen the worst of me

So don't expect me to be not thinking out loud

You've seen the best in me and you've seen the beast in me

So don't expect me to be not thinking out loud

I'm not thinking out loud

I'm not thinking out loud

I'm not thinking out loud

Don't ask this songbird

To hide his song lines

Blown my alibi

Don't ask this songbird

To hide his song lines

Sing what's on my mind

Trouveur

Minstrel

Whistleblower

Undercover

Singer

Liar

Don't ask this songbird

To hide his song lines

Blown my alibi

Alibi

Don't ask this songbird

To hide his song lines

Sing what's on my mind
