I have a choice between the bat or the belt

Each time I hear about the hand you've been delt

Spare me confession

It's confession you sell

Maybe I'll fall behind

But I don't mind

Because I'll catch up

I want a song that's indelible

Like manimal

I hope you never see me wind up

Will I be happy on the back of the shelf

Will you be happy when we're sharing a cell

Spare me your questions since you know me so well

Someday you'll realize

That I get shy and I choke up

What is wrong with this animal

I'm terrible

I hope you never see me wind up

Farewell my sweet paramania

My only promise is that I'll never tell

Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt

I'll bite the bullet

Take the beating

Until I take it back anyway

What was I supposed to say?
