The Way That She Moves
She walks through the lights on a Tuesday at twilight
Like a vampire uncaged, that's about to drain my veins
She moves across the stage, the way she moves, the ways she sways
So I'll take another drink, and start to think that I know that shape
She's a mannequin with a heartbeat
Now my heart beats like this song
The way that she crawls across the floor
I'm wanting to give her something more
She turns me into a careless fool
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
I don't know what I'm doing here
Finding it hard to be sincere
There's just some things you can't undo
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
Just like you
So I stare into the lights, like a deer smashed in headlights
A disaster in bloom, already smell like her perfume
She walks and swiftly twirls, claps her heels and ruined my world
Now I'm lying on the floor like it's where I belong
She's a mannequin with a heartbeat
Now my heart beats like this drum
The way that she crawls across the floor
Wanting to give her something more
She's got me acting like a fool
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
I don't know what I'm doing here
Finding it hard to be sincere
There's just some things you can't undo
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
Just like you
It's the way that she moves in the spotlight, on this reckless night
I know I can't save you, but I can try
Intentions are noble, but that's a lie
I know it's wrong when you do that, but I can't turn back
Your lips are red, but your heart is black
You act like prey, but you're on the attack
Your nails are in my skin, and I'm wearing thin
This is no place for honest men
I've had it before, but I need it again, and again, and again
She's a blow-up doll with a heartbeat
Now my heart beats like this song
The way that she crawls across the floor
Wanting to give her something more
She's got me acting like a fool
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
I don't know what I'm doing here
Finding it hard to be sincere
There's just some things you can't undo
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
Just like you
Like a vampire uncaged, that's about to drain my veins
She moves across the stage, the way she moves, the ways she sways
So I'll take another drink, and start to think that I know that shape
She's a mannequin with a heartbeat
Now my heart beats like this song
The way that she crawls across the floor
I'm wanting to give her something more
She turns me into a careless fool
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
I don't know what I'm doing here
Finding it hard to be sincere
There's just some things you can't undo
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
Just like you
So I stare into the lights, like a deer smashed in headlights
A disaster in bloom, already smell like her perfume
She walks and swiftly twirls, claps her heels and ruined my world
Now I'm lying on the floor like it's where I belong
She's a mannequin with a heartbeat
Now my heart beats like this drum
The way that she crawls across the floor
Wanting to give her something more
She's got me acting like a fool
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
I don't know what I'm doing here
Finding it hard to be sincere
There's just some things you can't undo
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
Just like you
It's the way that she moves in the spotlight, on this reckless night
I know I can't save you, but I can try
Intentions are noble, but that's a lie
I know it's wrong when you do that, but I can't turn back
Your lips are red, but your heart is black
You act like prey, but you're on the attack

She's a blow-up doll with a heartbeat
Now my heart beats like this song

Wanting to give her something more
She's got me acting like a fool
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
I don't know what I'm doing here
Finding it hard to be sincere
There's just some things you can't undo
It's the way that she moves, and it's just like you
Just like you
