THE BIGGER THRILLS

I laid it all out on the line. I gave you love. I gave you my dark side.
But I only paled in the shadow of bored people with distracted minds about...

The bigger thrills. The bigger thrills.
‘Cause I will beat my brain until my body is sore.
Draining that last drop, and now you still want more.
They’re slapping money down on the table for the bigger thrills.

It’s hot as two Hells in a jug. I’m going to bust just like a water pipe.
I hope it doesn’t take too long to wear down all this hype about...

The bigger thrills. The bigger thrills.
‘Cause I will beat my brain until my body is sore.
Draining that last drop, and now you still want more.
They’re slapping money down on the table for the bigger thrills.
The bigger thrills.

Don’t ever let your lips get loose with words that hang just like a noose.
They dangle heavy on your breath, and smash the gaps wide open.

So cut the scalp right off my head. I’ll take a bow and spill in your direction.
You won’t get much. I’ll keep my heart. No, you won’t get the satisfaction of...

The bigger thrills. The bigger thrills.
‘Cause I will beat my brain until my body is sore.
Draining that last drop, and now you still want more.
They’re slapping money down on the table for the bigger thrills.
The bigger thrills.
