the HIATUS Lyrics

So shut your mouth
And let me drive down
to the night
It's coming down to the wire
I'll be your circus clown
Just like untamed monkeys
Cut loose
from everything obtained
Blank out the labels on bottles
They never will make

any difference
Shut down the primary cortex
Cast off
what you have been going through
Bring down the house with style
And It's making me intoxicated
You fall on me in heels
You snapped just right on time
We're coming down to the nest
I'll be your carnival king
Just like untamed monkeys
Cut loose
from everything obtained
Blank out the labels on bottles
They never will make
any difference
Shut down the primary cortex
Cast off
what you have been going through
Bring down the house with style
And It's making me intoxicated
Just like untamed monkeys
Cut loose
from everything obtained
Shut down the primary cortex
Cast off
what you have been going through
Just like untamed monkeys
Cutloose
from everything obtained
Blank out the labels on bottles
They never will make
any difference
Shut down the primary cortex
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
