[Verse 1]
Confiscate letters like D.E.B
No natural course of things for her to expect
Withdraw the feelings "You can, you can't, you can"
I called your number as you told the world

[Chorus]
Someone is wrong
Someone is wrong

[Verse 2]
I'll find the answer, you'll take mystery to bed
My sister coma she was always too shy
You told the story crying "Darling, too good to last"
You taste of love just like the sex smell of me

[Chorus]
Someone is wrong
Someone is wrong

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Someone is wrong
Someone is wrong

[Verse 3]
There is no longer any normal to me
You're my assassin but you can't see the crime
Pointless possessions of me and you and greed
I looked at you mistaking needles for eyes

[Chorus]
Someone is wrong
Someone is wrong

[Verse 4]
You are slow poison that glows in the dark
Such isolation is good for the heart
We will take mystery to bed for the night
You are slow poison that glows in the dark
Such isolation is good for the heart
We will take mystery to bed for the night

[Outro]
Night
Night
Oh, night
