Ransom Note
Endicott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cut every word out of a magazine, so you an read what it says but you don't know what it means.
I licked it, stamped it, and sent it down to your street because now that I have you by the throat I want you on you knees. And everyone knows what it takes tonight.
Tonight. Tonight you know that we have what it takes. That's me standing with my gun to your head.
From now on you won't get what you want,but you will take what you get. All I ever wanted was to seize the day.
Look at me now - I have it in a deathgrip, and everyone knows we have what it takes - Tonight. Tonight. Tonight. They know that we have what it takes. Tonight.
