Cheekbones and hormones, your only self-defense

Lying through dinner and your rock and roll teeth again

You've harbored a coward and fed him full of broth

This nocturnal sadness, leave you pale as this tablecloth

Careful, don't you spill your dinner

That would be a good defense

Then you wouldn't have to sit here

On the fence

Cheekbones and hormones, he's the accidental man

Tell you in a stage whisper, about the boy who cried benefit

As the poet drags the darkness within him to the light

It's only in self-defense will they drag you out into the night

Careful, don't you spill your dinner

That would be your best defense

Careful, what you go and wish for

An idiot and a genius standing up to dine

Breaking man-made laws 'cause I only follow those that are divine

And only when you're chased, do you ever run fast

And it's wrong to commit a suicide, it's only in self-defense
