"At Least Not Tonight" lyrics

"At Least Not Tonight"

Sitting down in the shower
Dead power so send flowers
We're getting pumped up in the parlor
I love it when young lovers stick to one another
We're leading lambs into the slaughter
I love it when young lovers stick to one another

We've been getting at it pretty good
Going to have some people over tonight
And I don't want to go towards the light
At least not tonight

So so sick that it won't even stiffen
Deep fried
French kissing
Fat tires
Skinny living
Dying in the bathroom
Bleeding in the kitchen

Picked it up about Tuesday noon
Now you say it's Saturday night
And I don't want to go towards the light
At least not tonight

And I don't want to go to your party
But in the end I probably will
I get so upset watching television
It's always things that run away and things that kill
Sending soldiers up some hill

So tired
Frequent flyer
Hot fries
Piano wire
So pissed that you won't even listen
So psyched you didn't start the fire
I don't want to hang out with your banger friends
I don't want to stay up for six straight nights
And I don't want to go towards the light

At least not tonight

I want to feel better
I want to feel right
