Flirtin With Death by This Way to the Egress Lyrics

The cold stream lights on the boulevard
Seem to bend away from me
While those catcalls of those dogs outside
Throw their glimpses to my knees

I wake up on the street
And I see he's grinning at me
Oh, what a life, what a life, what a life I'm livin' in heat

Be careful who you talk to babe, when you're lonely on the street
Cause the drip drop flies and the sewer rats come together for their meet
You drop your rose to avoid the train as it comes close to your feet
It starts to rain so you stop the train and you jump in with one beat
Yeah, yeah!

Oh, I wanna be, I wanna see
I wanted three of everything
That caught my eye while we got high
And we were drinkin' down the wine

I know this feeling’s gonna break
So let’s just leave before it takes
Can't stay long with bullet eyes
Shootin' down between my thighs
I race around, I can't sit still
I'm knockin' down walls, lookin' for thrills
Takin big risks, I'm givin’ a kiss to all the boys
Don't wanna miss this

I'm steppin’ on toes, stealin' your man
Striking a pose, I'm throwing beer cans
Flirting with death, creepin' up fine
Lashin’ out good, takin' my time
I'm freakin' you out but what can I say
Tellin' you now I'm takin' this all away!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I’m flirting with death, creepin' up fine
Lashin’ out good, I'm takin' my time
I'm freakin' you out but what can I say
Tellin' you now I'm takin' this all away!
