The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've been tryna lose you baby I'm getting kinda used to failing every try I guess we both refuse to face it Neither one of us will ever change our stripes Why are we dancing now that the party's over? Why are we running now that the race is done? Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger Linger On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger) On and on, on and on, on and on So I keep the fire burning But I'm wondering why I still can feel the cold And I squeeze and I squeeze as hard as I can Hoping I will get some blood out of this stone Why are we dancing now that the party's over? Why are we running now that the race is done? Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger Linger On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger) On and on, on and on, on and on We'll make it last 'till the last one Each release is just a lease that repeats the past one Song that never ends, that was Lamb Chop Exodus, but the sex in us is a welcome mat back to Jamrock So even when the band stops Guitar still playin' even though the hand's not And all of this amounts to poltergeists and haunted houses so Even when we die, we'll still be alive Why are we dancing now that the party's over? Why are we running now that the race is done? Yea we try to let it go, but there's no way we can control it If we can't pull the trigger, then baby let this linger Linger On and on, on and on, on and on (Linger) On and on, on and on, on and on
