"Wrecking Ball" lyrics

"Wrecking Ball"

I gotta keep my head down, man, she got a temper
When she lets it go, it's gonna swing like a wrecking ball
I wouldn't recommend that you try to understand
The beginning or the end, it's gonna take a one and all

It's a furious game that I don't wanna play
The lights are still on but the folks are away
The tip of the tongue is a dangerous play

There ain't nowhere can keep on trying
To get old things to everyone
Swallowing the barrel of a loaded gun
There ain't nowhere can keep on trying
To get old things to everyone
Everybody got you on the run
And it got you on the run

I wanna take a trip, gonna make a little journey
Gonna travel so far that I can't hear you when you call
'Cause I don't wanna get stuck in the middle of a rug
Where a thousand little cuts are gonna bleed down upon us all

It's a juvenile way that I don't wanna know
Spending half of life getting set to explode
But the one that you're on is a dangerous road

There ain't nowhere can keep on trying
To get old things to everyone
Swallowing the barrel of a loaded gun
There ain't nowhere can keep on trying
To get old things to everyone
Everybody got you on the run
And it got you on the run

I'm tryna [?] to everyone
But you're no good to anyone
So take [?]
I'm gonna swing like a wrecking ball
Swing like a wrecking ball

So take up the one and all
Take up one and all
Swing
It's gonna swing
Swing like a wrecking ball

There ain't nowhere can keep on trying
To get old things to everyone
Swallowing the barrel of a loaded gun
There ain't nowhere can keep on trying
To get old things to everyone
Everybody got you on the run
Got you on the run

So take up the one and all
Gonna swing like a wrecking ball
