Animals - Stacked Like Pancakes

It was just another day, they stand confused

An ordinary chase down thoughts of doom

And I never felt the change, but I couldn’t escape you

But I was playing with fate as the story ensues

The energy was deafening when I walked through the door

I would call it a connection, but I’ve been here before

I was certain I would falter, but there was something about her

And that laughter would be my muse

Oh

The way she knew my design

She had me defined

She pulled me aside

I’m paralyzed

She told me I was «perfect»

She twisted my head

She twisted my head

We ended up at my place, with a few days past

So I guess it was our first date, if you could call it that

There was nothing wrong with this pace

When lips taste like they’re drug-laced

While my hands trace down your waistline

With your hips placed on mine

And suddenly we’re smiling, the third date it

And that’s when you decided to tell me you had a boyfriend

And I didn’t panic, I just gave in

Kind of like an addict, I let you win

Oh

The way she knew my design

She had me defined

She pulled me aside

I’m paralyzed

She told me I was «perfect»

She twisted my head

She twisted my head

You played me like a game I never thought I’d lose

I’m an animal estranged, and you’re the noose

Like a pawn against a queen, was it a game or machine

If you know all my moves

And your lies, your lies

And even offered my help, but just tell me one thing

Why’d you want me beneath someone else

This goes against my moral sense

My parents told me to be

regret for one time

Like a pawn against a queen, I was weak

Now I’m king like you wanted me to be

And I know I cannot chase this

But I’m faced with her eyes and there’s still one thing on my mind

The way she knew my design

She had me defined

She pulled me aside

I’m paralyzed

She told me I was «perfect»

She twisted my head

She twisted my head

But I feel alive

She told me I was «perfect»

She twisted my head

She twisted my head

But I feel alive

Oh
