lyrics

The curtain rises, you take the stage
I’m there with you, but the script is all yours
You own every page, and you write this play

You pull my strings, and I dance for you
I move for you like a marionette
I will never forget being drunk
On your perfume and cheap cigarettes

You’re no good for me
Oh, you’re no good for me
You’re no good for me
I want more

You’re my Samson Delilah
My world is on fire
Skakespearean drama I’ll never forget
Sometimes you play Romeo
Sometimes Juliet

You’re no good for me
Oh, you’re no good for me
You’re no good for me
I want more

Can’t get enough of you
You’ll be the death of me

The curtain closes, you leave the stage
The spotlight goes out, but the script is still yours
You own every page, and you write this play

You cloud my mind with your snake oil and wine
Like a bad premonition
My ignored intuition
It’s your mystery and mastery
It’s your comedy and your tragedy
You’re no good for me
Oh, you’re no good for me
You’re no good for me
I want more

You’re my nuclear fission, my believed superstition
It’s the way you control and relieve my frustrations
The stronger your power, the weaker I get
You’re no good for me
Oh, you’re no good for me
You’re no good for me, no good for me
You’re no good for me
You’re no good for me
You’re no good for me
You’re no good for me
I want more
