Throwing Punches Lyrics

Myriad Throwing Punches

Make a list of what you'll need
Pack the knives – and pack the bread – and then pray
for holy things
But first, be careful what you wish for!
and next, be sure before you crawl through open doors!

Is this what you want?
Is this what you wish?
Is this what you meant?

Slickered with rain and exhaust
I pushed my life into a duffel bag
Crushed against the walls
It's not safe out here
Slickered with rain and exhaust
Smelling like sugar and seedy red jam
Crushed against the walls
It's not safe out here

Is this what you meant by love
to throw a punch with the comeback kid
You've given me desires without a catch of hope and
fate
Is this what you meant by love
crashing cars with the coolest kids
You've given me my one desire even though it's
dangerous

(long interlude)

Is this what you meant by love
to throw a punch with the comeback kid
You've given me desires without a catch of hope and
fate
Is this what you meant by love
crashing cars with the coolest kids
You've given me my one desire even though it's
dangerous
