Song lyrics

Anything at all

Anything and I will find you

Anything at all

Can I be your first brawl?


Everyone that's there is someone

Everyone that's here is someone

Everyone, I swear, is someone's daughter


And it feels so good upon a Saturday night

When the bastards come to fight

And it won't be long before they carry me home

I'm the bastard of your light


When it's said and done

Meet me at the old meat market

When it's said and done

Can I please make you come?


Everyone that goes is someone

Everyone that throws is someone

Everyone that knows it's in the water


And it feels so good upon a Saturday night

When the bastards come to fight

And it won't be long before they carry me home

I'm the bastard of your light


And it feels so fine to know my shattering bones

When it's all those lefts and rights

And it won't be long

Before I'm buried alone

I'm the bastard of your light


I'll decorate your face

It's time to get it on

How does that crimson taste?

What, what, what, what


It's time to bob and weave

Ya gotta move your feet

An honor to receive


Tomato cans on tap

Another dandy chap

How 'bout a canvas nap?

One, two, three, four


And it feels so good upon a Saturday night

When the bastards come to fight

And it won't be long before they carry me home

I'm the bastard of your light


And it feels so good upon a Saturday night

When the bastards come to fight

And it won't be long before they carry me home

I'm the bastard of your light
