lyrics

Well, how you doing there so and so, nice to meet you
We're in a hurry today
We'll try again next time though and so good to see you
We'll just get out of the way
These rituals that we do they're dark and fading
Swallowed up by the sun
Down where the reaper's waiting there to greet you
With the less fortunate ones

Oh please, don't break it to me gently
No need, you killed me with a smile

Play hard to get if you want to, we ain't even looking
We don't negotiate
Invite us into your kitchen, once you're really cooking
We're used to staying up late
It's all right if you need a while, quality does
Do whatever it takes
We don't care if the oven gets so hot it melts us
Into a fiery lake

Oh please, don't break it to me gently
No need, you killed me with a smile
Oh please, don't let me down easy
No need, you missed me by a mile

We're bound to miss a moment when life is moving so fast
With all the eyes staring back at us from far in the past
We're bound to miss a moment when life is moving so fast
With all the eyes staring back at us from far in the past

These rituals that we do they're dark and fading
Swallowed up by the sun
Down where the reaper's waiting there to greet you
With the less fortunate ones

Oh please, don't break it to me gently
No need, you killed me with a smile
No need, to let me down easy
Oh please, you missed me by a mile
