It's all in motion No stoppin' now I've got nothin' to lose And only one way up I'm burning bridges I destroy the mirage Oh, visions of collisions Fuckin 'bon voyage It's all smooth sailing From here on out I got bruises and hickies Stitches and scars Got my own theme music It plays wherever I are Fear is the hand That pulls your strings A useless toy Pitiful plaything I'm inflagranti In every way It's all smooth sailing From here on out I'm gon' do the damage That needs gettin' done God only knows Where love vacations If reason is priceless There's no reason to pay for it It's so easy to see And so hard to find Make a mountain of a mole hill If the mole hill is mine I hypnotize you And no one can find you I blow my load Over the status quo Here we go I'm a little bit nonchalant But I dance I'm risking it always No second chance It's gonna be smooth sailing From here on out I'm gon' do the damage 'Til the damage is done yeah God only knows So mind your behavior Follow prescriptions Of your lord and savior Every temple is gold Every hook is designed Hell is but the temple Of the closed mind Closed mind Closed mind Closed mind It's all smooth sailing From here on out Shut up Pow!
