[Verse 1]
Tell me why we're all gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesn't know the meaning of tame
Still I can't put out the flame
Hey hey, I wanna play on the team that you despise
[Verse 2]
Every day a new disguise
Every night a Halloween
She says keep the motor running man
Like I was some machine
You can talk talk but I'm keeping her stock
I wouldn't even change a thing
[Chorus]
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene
[Verse 3]
On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I don't want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix
Voodoo and sorcery too I can't shake your freaky spell
[Chorus]
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene
[Bridge]
Can anybody tell me why we're Springer bound
Why we feel so up when we're kept down
On a short leash behind a barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole on a life sentence
[Break]
I'm so digging your scene
[Verse 4]
My friends tell me I should run
They say they think she's got a gun
But that just only turns me on
Right on, right on, right on
Hey hey, I wanna play for the team that you despise
[Chorus]
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene
[Outro]
Don't change
I love that you're deranged
You've got me trapped and caged
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene
Tell me why we're all gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesn't know the meaning of tame
Still I can't put out the flame
Hey hey, I wanna play on the team that you despise
[Verse 2]
Every day a new disguise
Every night a Halloween
She says keep the motor running man
Like I was some machine
You can talk talk but I'm keeping her stock
I wouldn't even change a thing
[Chorus]
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so digging your scene
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene
[Verse 3]
On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I don't want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix

I could split instead
I'm so digging your scene
