  My bodyguard shows her revolver to anyone who asks
                                                                               
  And yeah she comes to attention when you come up to me too fast
                                                              
  For a little while you'll be here, the only good part of me
                                                                          
  For a little while you'll be here

                                                   
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
                                 
I try to untie Manhattan
                                      
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
                                       
I try to untie

                               
  You wear skirt like a flag
                                
  And everything surrounds you, and it doesn't fade
                                  
  Nothing like this sound I make
                               
  That only lasts the season
                                                      
  And only heard by bedroom kids who buy for that reason
                                                   
  Cuz you're the low life of the party, bad blood
                        
  Bad blood for everybody
                               
  I'm in control and I believe

                                    
So lit up, lit up, lit up alright
                          
I try to untie Manhattan
                               
Lit up, lit up, lit up alright
                                          
I try to untie from your bad blood
                       
From your bad blood

                                             
Cuz you're the low life of the party, bad blood
                       
Bad blood for everybody
                            
I'm in control and I believe

                                          
So lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up alright
                        
I try to untie Manhattan
                                       
Lit up, lit up, lit up, lit up alright
                
I try to untie
