Tim and Marianne Thirty Whacks Lyrics

Thirty licks with a belt, same old tricks on myself
And I wonder, does everyone else live this way
A succession of tests, a triumphant success
Each time, I'm still intact at the end of the day

Thirty drops in a glass, keep my temper and pass
With my breath held, you b______s, you lucked out again
It's not really so bad, there's still mom, there's still
Damage to do before they wrest the axe from my heads

It's no mystery
You should obviously go
Before I break everything
You're always telling me
That youre dying to know
But you're not really listening

How do I manage to station myself in harm's way
And only get hit with a ticket for loitering that I have no way to pay
And no strength to argue

My personal demons can scheme with professional air
Oh god, they're after me
If I could shut them out just for a second, I swear
I could stop this catastrophe

Thirty day guarantee, but they can't have meant me
After all, I was born to a childproof world
No sharp corners or glass, small objects or plastic bags
Please, these are death to a delicate girl

It's no mystery
You should obviously know
That I'll destroy everything
So don't go telling me
That youre dying to know
'Cause you'll get what youre asking for

And I still manage to station myself in harm's way
And only get hit with a ticket for loitering, stating I came the wrong day
Now all the demons are screaming their wages of death
I've left a secret kept
If I could shut them out just for a second, I swear
It'd look like an accident, oh
I could be decent yet
Be magnificent
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I could be president
