Temper, temper,

I never wanted to be,

Temper, temper,

I never wanted to be,

Mr., Mr.,

I can't hold it in.



No...

Never, never,

I had a feeling this would,

Never, never,

I had a feeling this would never leave,

I've got a wick to burn my skin.



Temper, temper,

No...

Never, never,

I had a feeling this would,

Never, never,

I had a feeling this would never leave,

I've got a wick to burn my skin, yeah.



And so I bottled it up and kept the words to myself,

And let the anger collect for a better day.

When the words are aged, 

The war is waged,

And you'll watch me blow.

I can be your powder keg, 

If you can be my fuse.



Clever, clever,

Give me a reason to be,

Clever, clever,

Give me a reason to be,

Placing all my trust in your hands.



No...

Never, never,

Don't even fuck with me,

Never, never,

I tell myself that I know,

But I'll never know more than your name.



So I bottled it up and kept the words to myself,

And let the anger collect for a better day.

When the words are aged, 

The war is waged,

And you'll watch me blow.

I can be your powder keg, 

If you can be my fuse.



Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't worry doll,

I only kill him in my sleep.

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock at your door.

You know I will send him out to sea.



So I bottled it up and kept the words to myself,

And let the anger collect for a better day.

When the words are aged, 

The war is waged,

And you'll watch me blow.

I can be your powder keg, 

If you can be my fuse.
