Blackout
He said "I like this girl but she only claps on the ones and threes"
Twos and fours are more your speed
She said "I only wear my pink sunglasses so I can see the world through a rose-coloured lens
I only take them off when I can't tell foes from friends"
Or to pretend
To pretend
To pretend
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
He was growing concerned by the way that she turned, the way that she yearned for more from life
He's given all that he can give
And the more that she earned, the more that she learned what she was worth
She finally snapped, said "Baby, you can't save me, you're my pride, my curse"
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
I don't condone it
I can't explain it
But I'm sure she knows what pain is
She had to do what she had to do
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten (In the background, it's a blackout)
One by one they sink to the bottom (She won't back down, til he's passed out)
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten (In the background, it's a blackout)
One by one they sink to the bottom (She won't back down, til he's passed out)
Twos and fours are more your speed
She said "I only wear my pink sunglasses so I can see the world through a rose-coloured lens
I only take them off when I can't tell foes from friends"
Or to pretend
To pretend
To pretend
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
He was growing concerned by the way that she turned, the way that she yearned for more from life
He's given all that he can give
And the more that she earned, the more that she learned what she was worth
She finally snapped, said "Baby, you can't save me, you're my pride, my curse"
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
I don't condone it
I can't explain it
But I'm sure she knows what pain is
She had to do what she had to do
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
In the background
It's a blackout
She won't back down
Til he's passed out
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten
One by one they sink to the bottom
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten (In the background, it's a blackout)
One by one they sink to the bottom (She won't back down, til he's passed out)
Raise a drink to those we've forgotten (In the background, it's a blackout)
One by one they sink to the bottom (She won't back down, til he's passed out)
