lyrics
SAFE SIDE
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter C 2007)
There's a safe side, keep out the cows from the steakhouse
There's a safe side, stay out of the eyes of the hoot-owls
Keep a mile from the Ides of March and motel towels
There's a safe side away from the tops of the charts
Diamond ring sparkling, sirens sing, the Devil say "Oh nah nah nah!"
Sinking ships on my sleeve, crown a king, the Devil say "Oh nah nah nah!"
Uh oh, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Keep a safe side away from your friends and your lovers
Keep a safe side away from your fathers and mothers
Keep a safe eye out for the hate in your heart-throb
Keep a safer eye out for the hands on your doorknob
Diamond ring sparkling, sirens sing, the Devil say "Oh nah nah nah!"
Sinking ships on my sleeve, crown a king, the Devil say "Oh nah nah nah!"
Uh oh, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Keep a safe side out!
Keep a safe side out!
Keep a safe side out!
Keep a safe side out!
