Josh Todd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blast!
I'm about to blast, I'm about to fuck it up
I'm about to drop your mother's angel on the floor
I'm gonna do it fast, how am I to shut you up

I got to free myself and quick I'm out the door
I want you Blast!
I want you Blast!

I left no point of entry and you left your business undone

I'm about to crash, I'm about to pack it up
I'll do it now you know I've done it once before
If I don't last, if I don't measure up
It's just because I'm fucking rotten to the core

I want you Blast!
I want you Blast!
I left no point of entry and you left your business undone, undone
I always keep it with me as you attempt to cause harm, cause harm

Blast! Blast!Blast!
I've had enough, I feel like something's up, I think that everything is happening to fast
And you you're a mess, I really must confess, I got to free myself before it starts to grow
I want you Blast!

I want you Blast!

I left no point of entry and you left your business undone, undone
I always keep it with me as you attempt to cause harm, cause harm Blast! Blast! Blast!
