We used to say we were in like Flynn
Red rockets and we were in
And the hairline fracture in my anklebone
Aches just enough to remind me that I'm alone

And the blackout seems so far away
Even though it was only yesterday
Even though it was only yesterday

There'll be no explosions tonight
No matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright
As you walk on by

We were shaking down the reptile house
Bottle rockets, without a doubt
And the blood sweat shivers running through these veins
It kills me to know some things will never be the same

And the reflex seems so far away
Even though it was only yesterday
Even though it was always yesterday

There'll be no explosions tonight
No matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright
As you walk on by

There'll be no explosions tonight
No matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright
Let's just walk on by

It's all or nothing at all
Or nothing at all
It's all or nothing at all
Or nothing at all

You always said that it was just for kicks
But blue baby needs another fix
I want a lift and now these broken bones
That ache just enough to remind me that I'm alone

There'll be no explosions tonight
No matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright
As you walk on by

There'll be no explosions tonight
No matter how hard I try
And how will I remain upright
You're just walking by

It's all or nothing at all
