And so, you built, a life, on trust Though, it starts, with love and lust And when, your house, begins, to rust Oh it’s just, metal and dust We argue, we don’t fight We argue, we don’t fight And all, foundation, that, we made Built, to last, they disintegrate And when, your house, begins to rust Oh it’s just, metal and dust We argue, we don’t fight Stay awake 'til the middle of the night Stay awake 'til the middle of the night We argue, we don’t fight Stay awake 'til the middle of the night Stay awake 'til the middle of the night (We don't argue) We argue, we don’t fight Stay awake 'til the middle of the night Stay awake 'til the middle of the night (We don't argue) We argue, we don’t fight Stay awake 'til the middle of the night Stay awake 'til the middle of the night We don’t argue We don’t argue We don’t argue
