Matches to Paper Dolls - Audiotree Live Version

I changed the locks
 But your key, your key's still working
 You can't train a moth, I guess
 Uh, each beast gets her burden
 So we circle this old flame
 Too much at stake but too late to change
 My nerves are shot, my reserves exhausted
 It's a tired plot but we bought it
 Now we're lost
 Between love and cholera
 Saccharine read, such a sentimental novel
 Give you cavities if it doesn't drive you to the bottle
 As for me, I'll take another kerosene if you got it
 Something harder, look, like a moth you see
 And I still get chills when you talk to me
 But the years pass by now in twos and threes
 These thrills ain't as cheap as they used to be
 If you're asking
 I can't say no
 Just one more chapter
 Our book won't close
 And I know it's madness
 To play these odds
 It's like giving matches
 To paper, to paper dolls
 (I know it's madness, I know
 I know it's madness, I know
 I know it's mad)
 Uh, tried sweet talk, tried dynamite
 But I sleepwalk back to the battle site
 Fight fire with fire but the fire won't fight
 We just fly these circles like tired kites
 And you flash some fang
 And I bat my lashes
 And we're back again
 No end to this game with matches
 We've been lovers and strangers and friends who get angry
 Made mistakes and amends and brief moments of magic
 We forgive and forget and give in to attraction
 This whole thing depends on amnesia and madness
 And I'd be leaving for good, I'd be looking for better
 But I got this broken habit I keep gluing back together
 The fever, the fire, the feathers
 The fever defies measure
 And good sense won't venture where the moth will go
 If you're asking
 I can't say no
 Just one more chapter
 Our book won't close
 And I know it's madness
 To play these odds
 It's like giving matches
 To paper, to paper dolls
 (Just like, just like...
 Just like, just like...
 Just like giving matches to paper dolls
 Just like, just like...
 Just like, just like...
 Just like giving matches to paper dolls)
 If you're asking
 I can't say no
 Just one more chapter
 Our book won't close
 And I know it's madness
 To play these odds
 It's like giving matches
 To paper, to paper dolls
