Bat for a Heart Lyrics
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
[Verse 1]
I'm out of my mind, running towards danger
The lights on the street are blinding my way
I can feel you, watching over
I know you want it now, want it now, want it now
I know you want it now, want it now, want it now
[Chorus]
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
[Verse 2]
The dark in the sky, the wind in my hair
A bat for a heart sucking up air
Can you feel me, watching over?
I know you want it now, want it now, want it now
I know you want it now, want it now, want it now
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
My hands are stained from your dirty black hair
My heart is cursed 'cause you were never there
Another crime that you left behind
Or just a name that fit at the time
[Chorus]
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
I'm gonna bang bang, fuck you up
Twist you out inside of my head
