Johnny's got a new toy
He plays with it every night
He doesn't touch his old one
Never gets home in time
He says, "I can't be forgiven
For all that I've done
And I've been playing too much
And it's time that I was done"
Jane lives in a doll's house
With ivy up one side
She's waiting every evening
For her husband to arrive
She says, "How did I get here?
I only wanted a glass
But I'm half way through the bottle
Just hoping it will last"
And I'm so close to dying
Every time
I take you in
Oh, it's love that I want
But it always disappoints me
So I turn to my vices every time
Oh, it's love that I want
But, oh, you give me none
So I turn to my vices every time
Johnny smells of perfume
Jane's got merlot on her breath
She throws a burning candle
The kids watching from the stairs
Oh, how we love our children
But if they only knew
We can't pull ourselves
From the bad things that we do
And we're too close to dying
Too close this time
But I take you in
Oh, it's love that I want
But it always disappoints me
So I turn to my vices every time
Oh, it's love that I want
But, oh, you give me none
So I turn to my vices every time
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na-na na na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na na-na-na na na
Oh, we're too close to dying
We're too close to dying
Standing out here on a land mine
Waiting for that switch to go
Oh, we're too close to dying
We're too close to dying
Standing out here on a land mine
Waiting for our hearts to blow
We're too close
Oh, it's love that I want
But it always disappoints me
So I turn to my vices every time
Oh, it's love that I want
But, oh, you give me none
So I turn to my vices every time
Oh, it's love (na-na-na-na)
Oh, it's love (na-na-na-na)
Na-na-na-na na-na-na na na
Give me your love (na-na-na-na)
Give me your love love love (na-na-na-na)
Na-na-na-na na-na-na na na
Oh, it's love (na-na-na-na)
Oh, it's love (na-na-na-na)
So I turn to my vices every time
Give me your love (na-na-na-na)
Give me your love, love, love (na-na-na-na)
So I turn to my vices every time
