We'll take ourselves out in the street
And wear the blood in our cheeks
Like red roses
We'll go from car to sleeping car
And whisper in their sleeping ears
We were here, we were here
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road
C/G G
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
Am F
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
C/G G
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
Am F
We'll run like we're awesome
