The Paper Chase – Off With Their Heads lyrics

One man with a warmed heart, with the fake legs and the false starts

“I’ll put a curse on you”
They shrinked to lie in my hands
“I’ll put the hex in you”, I said
I’m screaming off with their heads
We had a deal

I know you hear me talking you
I see the nod in your head
I know you hear me talking to you
Outgrew you, outgrew all of your inductive inhales
We had a deal

Goddamn these hands, I let them touch you
And goddamn your voice, “Sweetheart, swing hard, I’ll never bust you”
We had a deal
I thought we had a deal
We had a deal

And if it’s not you I guess it’s me
And if it’s not you I guess that leaves me
Did you think you were quicker than me?
Did you really think you’re better than me?
Off with their heads

Yeah we’re all out to get you
Yeah we’re all out to get you, motherfucker
Yeah we’re in this together
Up with curtains, up with the blinds, my plans are foiled again
So take a look in my eyes
A nervous look, I’ll reprise, “I’ll never let you in”
Say that and look in my eyes
Say that and look in my eyes
Next time I’ll stick it in

And if it’s not you, I guess it’s me
And if it’s not you, I guess that leaves me
Did you think you were quicker than me?
Well, did you really think you’re better than me?
Off with their heads

We had a deal

Simon says I rebut you
When Simon says I reboot you, then I start all again
And that silence, it suits you
Yeah, the silence it suits you
Back to square one again

So take a look in my eyes
A nervous look, I’ll reprise, “I’ll never let you in”
Say that and look in my eyes
Say that and look in my eyes
Next time I’ll stick it in
Take a look in my eyes
