Wind Up

I have a choice between the bat or the belt
 Each time I hear about the hand you've been dealt
 Spare me confession, it's confession you sell
 Maybe I'll fall behind but I don't mind because I'll catch up
 I want a song that indelible like manimal
 I hope you never see me wind up
 ♪
 Will I be happy on the back of the shelf?
 Will you be happy when we're sharin' a cell?
 Spare me your questions since you know me so well
 Someday you'll realize that I get shy and I choke up
 I want a song that's indelible like manimal
 I hope you never see me wind up
 What's wrong with this animal, I'm terrible
 I hope you never see me wind up
 ♪
 Farewell my sweet paramania
 Farewell my sweet paramania
 ♪
 My only promise is that I'll never tell
 Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
 I'll bite the bullet, take the beating until
 I take it all back anyway, what was I supposed to say?
 I want a song that's indelible like manimal
 I hope you never see me wind up
 What is wrong with this animal, I'm terrible
 I hope you never see me wind up
