Lyrics

Bad for You

They say

Don't shoot up the starlight

They say

They say

Don't dice with the dead boys

They say

It's bad for you

They say

Don't walk on the night side

They say

Don't question taboo

I say

Don't blind me with mirrors

And don't say

It's bad for you

The higher we rise now

The deeper we dig

The deeper we dig now

The higher we rise

He says

Don't shrink my penis

She says

Don't make me dry

He says

I can't live without you

She says

I'm bad for you

You keep climbing up these mountains

You've crossed the seven seas

Is it time to let it go now

And just be?

Just be?

Just be?

Just be?

Just be?

Just be?

Just be?
