With spitfire breath off her acid tongue
Her kisses corroded my face
And with tears in her eyes and blood in her nose
She said she’d found an acquired taste

Well she gunned that bitch straight into the night
Without deliberation
She’ll survive to find to her frantic dismay
She’s run out of medication

So rise and rise and rise she shines
With the dread of the day in her bloodshot eyes
Now higher and higher and higher she climbs
Delirious for serious, seriously

She strides about on a dagger’s edge
There’s been a change in her chemistry
But her eyes don’t lie they say with certainty
She’s got no love for the revelry

So rise and rise and rise she shines
With the dread of the day in her bloodshot eyes
Now higher and higher and higher she climbs
Delirious for serious, seriously

She runs, she flees, the search for peace
For love, for light, it’s out of reach
She’ll rise to find the blood has dried
She fought, she tried, so long, goodbye

And higher and higher and higher she climbs
With the dread of the day in her bloodshot eyes
Now rise and rise and rise she shines
Delirious for serious, seriously

Rise and rise and rise she shines
Delirious for serious
Rise and rise and rise she shines
Delirious for serious
Rise and rise and rise she shines
Delirious for serious
Rise and rise and rise she shines
Delirious for serious, seriously
