The dust from a four-day affair is now landing
A Asus4 D
All over the floor and your brown legs

The gold plated legs of my rival

Whose eyes had no reason to fall

You led no celibate life, no skirt while chemicals danced in your head

You stole the keys to this ride and your fables are falling tonight
Because of your struggle to make them
Their taste for your past time is fading
Remember the girls in the middle are always the first to fall off
You'll learn to live like a mouse,
Searching the cracks in the floor to remember
All the dregs in the crowd you barely recall
