We take it easy, tigers in a cage
We're pacing on our pads and waiting
For the time to come in reverie
Our lazy bones ache for our dowry

You can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
(What we invented I am now ending)
Hold on to who you love
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young
(What we invented I am now ending)

The closest thing we had to royalty
A chance to break our parents’ pattern
You chose to keep your teenage tragedy
In lieu of their romantic palette

Play tender like a newborn baby would
Play tender ‘til the night is over
I'm leaving you to nurse your cherished wounds
And cover it just like your lover, yeah

You can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
(What we invented I am now ending)
Hold on to who you love
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young
(What we invented I am now ending)
You can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
(What we invented I am now ending)
Hold on to who you love
We are dry and blown like dust since we were young
(The morning's over, the day is in full swing)

I know you're busy, but please won't you come visit me?
You are an aimless ghost, you haunt your bag of bones
The wolf messed with your vision, he is sitting in your kitchen while you sleep tonight
He will eat your young and you will act surprised

You can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
(What we invented I am now ending)
Hold on to who you love
We are dry and blow like dust since we were young
(What we invented I am now ending)
You can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
(What we invented I am now ending)
Hold on to who you love
We are dry and blow like dust since we were young
(The morning's over, the day is in full swing)
