lyrics
I've got a bridge in my mouth
And you're screaming in my ear
I'd jump off the GW
Just to get out of here
If bridges get you from point A to point B
Why don't you cross a bridge and get the hell away from me?
There's no reason to cross
No reason to stay
Don't know where I'm going
But I'm going anyway
I've got a bridge to sell you
Though it may not exist
If you try to drive over it
You'll end up wet and pissed
I need a bridge
To suspend my disbelief
I can't believe
I ever fell for your grief
They say you shouldn't burn bridges
But I have to disagree
Because I'd close the Golden Gate to keep you from reaching me
There's no reason to cross
No reason to stay
Don't know where I'm going
But I'm going anyway
I've got a bridge to sell you
Though it may not exist
If you try to drive over it
You'll end up wet and pissed
I try to span the gap with an emotional bridge
But you're as cold as a penguin's butt on an ice cube in my fridge
Love built a bridge between your heart and mine
But I'm gonna burn it down and find a brand new concubine
Godzilla's got a forked tongue and fire breath
And you've got a lot in common with him, and I'm praying for your death
There's no reason to cross
No reason to stay
Don't know where I'm going
But I'm going anyway
I've got a bridge to sell you
Though it may not exist
If you try to drive over it
You'll end up wet and pissed
UH!
