[Verse 1]

Tonight we'll both go M.I.A

In different towns but in similar ways

I've tried my best, best to forget

But I can't, I can't, I can't

Tonight we'll scratch each other's face

If it's in the moment no one complains

I've tried my best to move along

But I can't, I can't, I can't

[Chorus]

Kiss me with your fist; it's alright

Wrap your hands around my throat; I won't mind

I'm permanent, now I won't go

I just want to be your shadow

[Verse 2]

Just one more up-tempo tune

The suits don't care if their feet aren't blue

Are you aware of what's going on

In my heart, my heart, my heart?

Those machine gun eyes

Have fired crystals into me

You're such a violent high

And I'm such a loose cannon, can't you see?

[Chorus]

Kiss me with your fist; it's alright

Wrap your hands around my throat; I won't mind

I'm permanent, now I won't go

I just wanna be your shadow

Hire a bus, drive it over my rib cage

Snap my bank cards and throw them at my face

I'm permanent, now I won't go

I just want to be your shadow

[Bridge]

And I just want to be

The sum of your broken parts

And I just want to be

Your creature of the dark (I just want, I just want)

And I just want to be (I just want, I just want)

The sum of your broken parts (I just want, I just want)

And I just want to be (I just want, I just want)

Your creature of, your creature of the dark

I just want to be your shadow

[Chorus]

Kiss me with your fist; it's alright

Wrap your hands around my throat; I won't mind

I'm permanent, now I won't go

I just want to be your shadow

[Outro]

I just want to be your shadow

I just want to be your shadow
